Lord of my life! oh, may Thy praise
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: BWHT1899 #13 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Lord of my life! oh, may Thy praise
Employ my noblest powers,
Whose goodness lengthens out my days,
And fills the circling hours!
2 Preserved by Thine Almighty arm,
I pass the shades of night,
Serene and safe from every harm,
And see returning light.
3 Oh, let the same Almighty care
My waking hours attend:
From every trespass, every snare,
My heedless steps defend.
4 Smile on my minutes as they roll,
And guide my future days;
And let Thy goodness fill my soul
With gratitude and praise.
Amen. Topics: God Almighty; God Goodness of; God Our Guardian; God Our Guide; Morning Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM
Lord of my life! oh, may Thy praise
Hosanna with a cheerful sound
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #14 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hosanna with a cheerful sound
To God's upholding hand!
Ten thousand snares our path surround,
And yet secure we stand.
2 How wondrous is that mighty power
Which formed us with a word!
And every day and every hour,
We lean upon the Lord.
3 The rising morn cannot assure
That we shall end the day;
For death stands ready at the door
To take our lives away.
4 God is our Sun, whose daily light
Our joy and safety brings;
Our feeble flesh lies safe at night
Beneath His sheltering wings.
Amen. Topics: God Providence of; Morning; Providence Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER
Hosanna with a cheerful sound
Glory to Thee, my God, this night
Author: Thomas Ken Hymnal: BWHT1899 #15 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Glory to Thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, oh keep me, King of kings,
Under Thine own almighty wings.
2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son,
The ills that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
With joy behold the judgment-day.
4 Lord, let my soul for ever share
the bliss of Thy paternal care;
'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above,
To see Thy face and sing Thy love.
5 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen. Topics: Evening; God our father Languages: English Tune Title: WELTON
Glory to Thee, my God, this night
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: BWHT1899 #16 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide!
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me!
2 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free,
Come, not to sojourn,but abide with me.
3 I need Thy presence every passing hour:
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me.
4 Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes,
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!
Amen. Topics: Abiding of Christ with Believers; Christ Presence of; Evening; God Presence of Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide
Now the day is over
Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: BWHT1899 #17 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With Thy tenderest blessing
May mine eyelids close.
2 Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors, tossing
On the deep blue sea.
Through the long night-watches
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
3 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to Thee, blest Spirit,
Whilst all ages run.
Amen.

Now the day is over
The day is past and over
Author: John M. Neale; Anatolius Hymnal: BWHT1899 #18 (1899) Lyrics: 1 The day is past and over:
All thanks, O Lord, to Thee!
I pray Thee now that sinless
The hours of dark may be.
O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight,
And save me through the coming night!
2 The toils of day are over:
I lift my heart to Thee:
And ask that free from peril
The hours of fear may be.
O Jesus, make their darkness light,
And guard me through the coming night!
3 Be Thou my soul’s Preserver,
O God! for Thou dost know
How many are the perils
Through which I have to go.
Lover of men, O hear my call,
And guard and save me from them all!

The day is past and over
God, that madest earth and heaven
Author: Reginald Heber; Richard Whately Hymnal: BWHT1899 #19 (1899) 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 livelong night.
2 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
And, when we die,
May we in Thy mighty keeping
All peaceful lie:
When the last dread call shall wake us,
do not Thou or God forsake us,
But to reign in glory take us
With Thee on high.

God, that madest earth and heaven
Day is dying in the west
Author: Mary A. Lathbury Hymnal: BWHT1899 #20 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Day is dying in the west;
Heav'n is touching earth with rest;
Wait and worship while the night
Sets her evening lamps alight
Through all the sky.
Refrain:
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heav'n and earth are full of Thee!
Heav'n and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord most high!

Of the Universe, Thy home.
Gather us who seek Thy face
to the fold of Thy embrace,
For thou art nigh. [Refrain]

Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear
Author: John Keble Hymnal: BWHT1899 #21 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear,
It is not night if Thou be near;
Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.
2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My wearied eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought--how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour's breast.
3 Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.
4 Be near and bless me when I wake,
Ere through the world our way I take;
Till in the ocean of Thy love
I lose myself in heaven above.

Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear
Saviour, breathe an evening blessing
Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: BWHT1899 #22 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, breath an evening blessing,
Ere repose our spirits seal;
Sin and want we come confessing,
Thou canst save, and Thou canst heal;
Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrow past us fly,
Angel-guards from Thee surround us,
We are safe if Thou art nigh.
2 Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou art He who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be;
Should swift death this night o'ertake us,
And our couch become our tomb,
May the morn in heaven awake us,
Clad in light and deathless bloom.
Amen. Topics: Christ Savior; Evening; God Defender; God Our Guardian Languages: English Tune Title: MIDDLETON
