O Bread Of Life From Heaven
Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Bread of life from heaven,
To weary pilgrims given,
O Manna from above:
The souls that hunger feed Thou,
The hearts that seek Thee lead Thou,
With Thy most sweet and tender love.
2 O Fount of grace redeeming,
O River ever streaming
From Jesus' holy side:
Come Thou, Thyself bestowing
On thirsting souls, and flowing
Till all their wants are satisfied.
3 Jesus, this feast receiving,
Thy word of truth believing,
We Thee unseen adore:
Grant, when our race is ended,
That we, to heav'n ascended,
May see Thy glory ever more.

But still Thine angels round me sing!

Now All the Woods Are Sleeping
Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadows
Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadows
The woodlands, fields and meadows,
The world in slumber lies;
But thou, my soul, awake thee,
To song and prayer betake thee,
Let praise to thy Creator rise.
2 The radiant sun hath vanished,
Its golden rays are banished
By night, the foe of day;
But Christ, the Sun of gladness,
Dispelling all my sadness,
Within my heart holds constant sway.
3 The rule of day is over,
And shining jewels cover
The sky above so blue.
Thus I shall shine in heaven,
Where crowns of gold are given
To all who faithful prove and true.
4 My body lies divested
Of garments that have rested
Upon this form of clay.
But I in rapture ponder
How Christ shall clothe me yonder
With glory that endures for aye.
5 Lord Jesus, who dost love me,
Thy pinions spread above me,
And shield me well from harm.
Let angel guards attend me
And from the foe defend me,
That I may rest without alarm.
6 My loved ones, rest securely,
For God will keep you surely
From pain and perils sore.
Sweet slumbers may He send you,
And may His hosts defend you
With golden weapons evermore. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: INNSPRUCK Text Sources: Tr. Composite
Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadows
Nun Ruhen Alle Wälder
Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Nun ruhen alle Wälder,
Vieh, Menschen, Städt’ und Felder,
Es schläft die ganze Welt;
Ihr aber, meine Sinnen,
Auf, auf, ihr sollt beginnen,
Was eurem Schöpfer wohlgefällt!
2 Wo bist, du, Sonne, blieben?
Die Nacht hat dich vertrieben,
Die Nacht, des Tages Feind.
Fahr hin! Ein’ andre Sonne,
Mein Jesus, meine Wonne,
Gar hell in meinem Herzen scheint.
3 Der Tag ist nun vergangen,
Die güldnen Sternlein prangen
Am blauen Himmelssaal;
So, so werd’ ich auch stehen,
Wenn mich wird heissen gehen
Mein Gott aus diesem Jammertal.
4 Der Leib eilt nun zur Ruhe,
Legt ab das Kleid und Schuhe,
Das Bild der Sterblichkeit;
Die zieh’ ich aus, dagegen
Wird Christus mir anlegen
Den Rock der Ehr’ und Herrlichkeit.
5 Breit aus die Flügel beide,
O Jesu, meine Freude,
Und nimm dein Küchlein ein!
Will Satan mich verschlingen,
So lass die Englein singen:
Dies Kind soll unverletzet sein!
6 Auch euch, ihr mein Lieben,
Soll heute nicht betrüben
Kein Unfall nich Gefahr.
Gott lass’ euch ruhig schlafen,
Stell’ euch die güldnen Waffen
Ums Bett und seiner Helden Schar. Used With Tune: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN
Nun Ruhen Alle Wälder
Now rest beneath night's shadow
Author: P. Gerhardt Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadow
The woodland, field, and meadow,
The world in slumber lies;
But thou, my heart, awake thee,
To prayer and song betake thee,
Let praise to thy Creator rise.
2 To rest my body hasteth,
Aside its garments casteth--
Types of mortality;
These I put off, and ponder
How Christ will give me yonder
A robe of glorious majesty.
3 Ye weary limbs, now rest you,
For toil hath sore oppressed you,
And quiet sleep ye crave;
A sleep shall once o'ertake you
From which no man can wake you,
In your last, narrow bed--the grave.
4 Lord Jesus, who dost love me,
O spread Thy wings above me,
And shield me from alarm!
Though Satan would devour me,
Let angel-guards sing o'er me:
This child of God shall meet no harm.
5 My loved ones, rest securely,
For God this night will surely
From perils guard your heads;
Sweet slumbers may He send you,
And bid His hosts attend you,
And through the night watch o’er your beds.

Upon the Cross Extended
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; John Kelly, 1833-90 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross extended,
See, world, your Lord suspended.
Your Savior yields His breath.
The Prince of Life from heaven
Himself hath freely given
To shame and blows and bitter death.
2 Come, see these things and ponder,
Your soul will fill with wonder
As blood streams from each pore.
Through grief beyond all knowing
From His great heart came flowing
Sighs welling from its deepest core.
4 I caused your grief and sighing
By evils multiplying
As countless as the sands.
I caused the woes unnumbered
With which your soul is cumbered,
Your sorrows raised by wicked hands.
6 Your cords of love, my Savior,
Bind me to You forever,
I am no longer mine.
To you I gladly tender
All that my life can render
And all I have to you resign.
