God, That Madest Earth and Heaven

Author: Bishop Reginald Heber; Wm. Mercer Hymnal: NCH1929 #51 (1929) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 First Line: God, that madest earth and heaven Lyrics: 1 God, that madest earth and heaven, Darkness and light; Who the day for toil hast given, For rest the night; May Thine angel-guards defend us, Slumber sweet Thy mercy send us, Holy dreams and hopes attend us, This live-long night. 2 And when morn again shall call us To run life's way, May we still, whate'er befall us, Thy will obey. From the pow'r of evil hide us, In the narrow pathway guide us, Nor Thy smile be e'er denied us The live-long day. 3 Holy Father, throned in heaven, All-holy Son, Holy Spirit, freely given, Blest Three in One, Grant Thy grace, we now implore Thee, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, And in worthier strains adore Thee, While ages run. Amen. Topics: God In Nature Evening Languages: English Tune Title: AR HYD Y NOS

The Twilight Falls

Author: Anoymous Hymnal: NCH1929 #52 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: The twilight falls, the night is near Lyrics: 1 The twilight falls, the night is near, I fold my work away, And kneel to One who bends to hear The story of the day: The old, old story; yet I kneel To tell it at Thy call, And cares grow lighter as I feel My Father knows them all: 2 Yes, all - the morning and the night, The joy, the grief, the loss, The mountain track, the valley bright, The daily thorn and cross. Thou knowest all: I lean my head; My wearied eyelids close; Content and glad awhile to tread The path our Father knows. 3 And Thou hast love me! All my heart With answ'ring love is stirred; And ev'ry grief and pain and smart Find healing in that Word. So now I lay me down to rest, As nightly shadows fall, And lean confiding on His breast Who knows and pities all. Topics: God In Nature Evening Languages: English Tune Title: STEBBINS
