Across the Sky the Shades of Night

Author: James Hamilton Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #69 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) Lyrics: 1 Across the sky the shades of night This New Year's Eve are fleeting. We deck your altar, Lord, with light, In solemn worship meeting, And, as the year's last hours go by, We raise to you our earnest cry, Once more your love entreating. 2 We gather up in this brief hour The mem'ry of your mercies. Your wondrous goodness, love, and pow'r Our grateful song rehearses, For you have been our strength and stay In many a dark and dreary day Of sorrow and reverses. 3 Before the cross, subdued, we bow, To you our prayers addressing, Recounting all your mercies now And all our sins confessing. We ask you, Lord, this coming year To keep us in your faith and fear And crown us with your blessing. 4 And while we pray, we lift our eyes To dear ones gone before us, Safe home with you in Paradise, Where Jesus will reign o'er us, And ask of you, when life is past, To reunite us all at last With those who've gone before us. 5 Then, gracious God, in years to come, Whatever may betide us, Right onward through our journey home, Oh, stay at hand to guide us, Nor leave us till, at close of life, Safe from all peril, toil, and strife, Heav'n shall enfold and hide us.

Across the sky the shades of night

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #164 (1918) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book Lyrics: 1 Across the sky the shades of night This winter's eve are fleeting: We deck Thine altar, Lord, with light, In solemn worship meeting; And as the year's last hours go by, We raise to Thee our earnest cry, Once more Thy love entreating. 2 Before the cross subdued we bow, To Thee our prayers addressing; Recounting all Thy mercies now, And all our sins confessing; Beseeching Thee, this coming year, To keep us in Thy faith and fear, And crown us with Thy blessing. 3 And while we pray, we lift our eyes To dear ones gone before us, Safe home with Thee in Paradise, Whose peace descendeth o'er us: And beg of Thee, when life is past To re-unite us all at last With those who've gone before us. 4 We gather up, in this brief hour, The memory of Thy mercies: Thy wondrous goodness, love, and power, Our grateful song rehearses: For Thou hast been our strength and stay In many a dark and dreary day Of sorrow and reverses. 5 In many an hour, when fear and dread, Like evil spells have bound us, And clouds were gathering overhead, Thy providence hath found us: In many a night, when waves ran high, Thy gracious presence, drawing nigh, Hath made all calm around us. 6 Then, O Great God, in years to come, Whatever fate betide us, Right onward through our journey home Be Thou at hand to guide us: Nor leave us till, at close of life, Safe from all perils, toil, and strife, Heaven shall unfold and hide us.
