The day, O Lord, is spent

Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: BWHT1899 #23 (1899) Lyrics: 1 The day, O Lord, is spent; Abide with us, and rest, Our heart's desires are fully bent On making Thee our guest. 2 We have not reached that land, That happy land, as yet, Where holy angels round Thee stand, Whose sun can never set. 3 Our sun is sinking now; Our day is almost o'er; O Sun of Righteousness, do Thou Shine on us evermore.

Softly now the light of day

Author: George W. Doane Hymnal: BWHT1899 #25 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day Fades upon my sight away; Free from care, from labor free, Lord, I would commune with Thee. 2 Thou, whose all-pervading eye Nought escapes without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin. 3 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known All of man's infirmity; Then, from Thine eternal throne, Jesus, look with pitying eye. 4 Soon, for me, the light of day Shall forever pass away; Then, from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee.

The day is gently sinking to a close

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: BWHT1899 #27a (1899) Lyrics: 1 The day is gently sinking to a close, Fainter and yet more faint the sunlight glows: O Brightness of Thy Father's glory, Thou Eternal Light of Light, be with us now: Where Thou art present darkness cannot be; Midnight is glorious noon, O Lord, with Thee. 2 Our changeful lives are ebbing to an end; Onward to darkness and to death we tend; O Conqueror of the grave, be Thou our guide, Be Thou our Light in death's dark eventide; Then in our mortal hour will be no gloom, No sting in death, no terror in the tomb. 3 Thou who in darkness walking didst appear Upon the waves, and Thy disciples cheer, Come, Lord, in lonesome days, when storms assail, And earthly hopes and human succors fail; When all is dark, may we behold Thee nigh, And hear Thy voice: "Fear not, for it is I." 4 The weary world is mould'ring to decay, Its glories wane, its pageants fade away; In that last sunset, when the stars shall fall, May we arise, awakened by Thy call, With Thee, O Lord, forever to abide In that blest day which has no eventide!
