The Day, O Lord, Is Spent
Author: John M. Neale Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The day, O Lord, is spent;
Abide with us, and rest;
Our hearts’ 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.
4. From men below the skies,
And all the heavenly host,
To God the Father praise arise,
The Son, and Holy Ghost. Used With Tune: ST. IGNATIUS (Barnby) Text Sources: Hymns for Children, 1842

Thou Say'st, "Take Up Thy Cross"
Author: Francis T. Palgrave Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals First Line: Thou say'st, Take up thy cross Lyrics: 1. Thou say’st, Take up thy cross,
O man, and follow Me;
The night is black, the feet are slack,
Yet we would follow Thee.
2. But O dear Lord, we cry,
That we Thy face could see!
Thy blessèd face one moment’s space—
Then might we follow Thee!
3. Dim tracts of time divide
Those golden days from me;
Thy voice comes strange o’er years of change;
How can I follow Thee?
4. Comes faint and far Thy voice
From vales of Galilee;
Thy vision fades in ancient shades;
How should we follow Thee?
5. O heavy cross—of faith
In what we cannot see!
As once of yore Thyself restore
And help to follow Thee.
6. If not as once Thou cam’st
In true humanity,
Come yet as Guest within the breast
That burns to follow Thee.
7. Within our hearts of hearts
In nearest nearness be:
Set up Thy throne within Thine own;
Go, Lord: We follow Thee. Used With Tune: ST. IGNATIUS (Barnby) Text Sources: Macmillan's Magazine, 1865
