Evening and morning

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Richard Massie Appears in 24 hymnals Matching Instances: 15 Lyrics: 1 Evening and morning, Sunset and dawning, Wealth, peace, and gladness, Comfort in sadness, These are Thy works; all the glory be Thine! Times without number, Awake or in slumber, Thine eye observes us, From danger preserves us, Causing Thy mercy upon us to shine. 2 Father, O hear me; Pardon and spare me; Calm all my terrors, Blot out my errors That by Thine eyes they may no more be scanned. Order my goings; Direct all my doings. As it may please Thee,, Retain or release me; All I commit to Thy Fatherly hand. 3 Griefs of God's sending Soon have an ending; Clouds may be pouring, Wind and wave roaring: Sunshine will come when the tempest has past. Joys still increasing, And peace never ceasing, Fountains that dry not, And roses that die not, Blooming in Eden, await me at last. Amen.

The Sun Ascending

Author: H. Brueckner; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 4.4.4.4.10.4.6.5.6.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The sun ascending To us is lending New joy and gladness, Cure for all sadness, Filling the world with its rich, golden light. I was reclining, And no light was shining; But the sun's beauty Now calls me to duty, As I behold it so fair and so bright. 2 To God in heaven All praise be given! Come, let us offer And gladly proffer To the Creator the gifts He doth prize. He well receiveth A heart that believeth; Hymns that adore Him Are precious before Him And to His throne like sweet incense arise. 3 Father above me, Thou who dost love me, Bless my beginning, Keep me from sinning, Move ev'ry hindrance well out of my way. Strength ever lend me, From Satan defend me, Spare me temptation, So that in my station I may Thy holy commandments obey. 4 Ills that still grieve me Soon are to leave me; Tho' billows tower And winds gain power, After the storm the fair sun shows its face. Joys e'er increasing And peace never ceasing, These I shall treasure And share in full measure When in yon mansions God grants me a place. Topics: Morning Used With Tune: EBELING

The Golden Morning

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Meter: 10.10.10.11.11.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: The golden morning, joy her adorning Lyrics: 1 The golden morning, joy her adorning, With splendor near us, draweth to cheer us With heart-refreshing and beautiful light. My head and members lay wrapt all in slumbers, But now awaking, and sleep from me shaking, Heaven’s blest sunshine doth gladden my sight. 2 Mine eye beholdeth what God upholdeth, Made for His glory, to tell the story To us of power and wisdom so great; And where the Father the faithful shall gather In peace, whenever earth’s ties they shall sever And leave this mortal and perishing state. 3 Come ye with singing, to God be bringing Goods and each blessing—all we’re possessing— All be to God as an offering brought. Hearts with love glowing, with praises o’erflowing, Thanksgiving voices, in these God rejoices, All other offerings without them are naught. 4 To morn and even His thoughts are given, Increase He giveth, sorrow relieveth, These are the works that He doeth alone. When we are sleeping, watch is He aye keeping, When we’re awaking, care still of us taking, He makes the light of His grace to shine down. 5 My thoughts I’ve raisèd to Thee who art praisèd For aye in Heaven! Success be given, May my endeavors all unhindered be! From every evil and work of the devil, From malice ever, Oh do Thou deliver! In all Thy precepts establish Thou me! 6 May it delight me, may no pain grieve me When overflows the cup that my brother Or neighbor hath, with Thy blessings so free. Covetous burning and unchristian yearning For ill possessions, blot out such transgressions, Cast them, O Father! all into the sea! 7 The life we’re living, what is it giving? Ere any thinketh, to ground it sinketh, Soon as the breath of the grave on it blow. All things together dread ruin must shiver, The earth and heaven they must perish even, Wrapt in the flames that shall ardently glow! 8 All—all decayeth, but God still stayeth, His thoughts they waver a moment never, His word and will both eternal endure. His grace and favor uninjured are ever, Deadly wounds healing, the heart with peace filling, Health here and yonder to us they ensure. 9 My God, for ever do Thou deliver! Shield me, and cover my debts all over, In grace, Thine eyes from my sins turn away. Govern and guide me, be ever beside me, As it is pleasing to Thee! am I placing All in Thy hand and disposal for aye. 10 Wilt Thou give ever to me whatever My life is needing? May I be heeding Ever the faithful word spoken by Thee. God is the highest, the greatest, the nighest, Gracious is ever, is changeable never, Of all our treasures the noblest is He. 11 Wilt Thou then grieve me, gall to drink give me? Must I be passing through cares harassing? Do then as seemeth it good unto Thee. Whate’er supporteth, is useful or hurteth, Thou knowest ever, and chastenest never Too much, in case we o’erburdened should be. 12 Trial God sendeth, speedily endeth Storm on the ocean, wind’s mad commotion, Lightens the sunshine so gladsome and bright. Fulness of pleasure, and glorious leisure, Will then be given to me in yon Heaven Whither my thoughts aye to turn take delight.
