Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadow

Author: Paul Gerhardt Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 15 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. The radiant sun hath vanished, His 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 heaven’s boundless blue. Thus I shall shine in heaven, Where crowns of gold are given To all who faithful prove and true. 4. 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. 5. Lord Jesus, who dost love me, Oh, spread Thy wings above me And shield me from alarm! Though evil would assail me, Thy mercy will not fail me: I rest in Thy protecting arm. 6. My loved ones, rest securely, For God this night will surely From peril guard your heads. Sweet slumbers may He send you And bid His hosts attend you And through the night watch o’er your beds.

Now all the woods are sleeping

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 25 hymnals Matching Instances: 11 Lyrics: 1 Now all the woods are sleeping, And night and stillness creeping O’er city, man, and beast; But thou, my heart, awake thee, To pray'r awhile betake thee, And praise thy Maker ere thou rest. 2 O sun! where art thou vanished? The night thy light hath banished-- The ancient foe, the night; God then for now appeareth Another Sun, and cheereth My heart--'tis Jesus Christ, my Light! 3 The last faint beam is going, The golden stars are glowing In yonder dark-blue deep; Such is the glory given, When called of God to heaven, On earth no more we pine and weep. 4 To rest the body hasteth, Itself of clothes divesteth, Type of mortality! I'll put it off, and o'er me Christ throw the robe of glory, And blissful immortality! 5 Head, hands, and feet so tired Are glad the day's expired, That work comes to an end; My heart, be filled with gladness That God from all earth's sadness, And from sin's toil relief will send. 6 Ye aching limbs! now rest you, For toil hath sore oppressed you, Lie down, my weary head; A sleep shall once o'ertake you From which earth ne'er shall wake you, Within a cold and narrow bed. 7 Mine eyes scarce ope are keeping, A moment, I'll be sleeping, Soul, body,--fare ye well! In grace Thy care then make them May evil ne'er o'ertake them, Thou Eye and Ward of Israel. 8 O Jesus, be my Cover! And both Thy wings spread over Thy child, and shield Thou me! Though Satan would devour me, Let angels ever o'er me Sing, "This child shall uninjured be!" 9 My loved ones, rest securely,-- From every evil surely Our God will guard your heads; And happy slumbers send you, And bid His hosts attend you, And golden-armed watch o'er your beds.

O Food to Pilgrims Given

Author: John Athelstan Laurie Riley Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1. O food to pilgrims given, O bread of life from heaven, O manna from on high! We hunger; Lord, supply us, nor thy delights deny us, whose hearts to thee draw nigh. 2. O stream of love past telling, O purest fountain, welling from out the Savior's side! We faint with thirst; revive us, of thine abundance give us, and all we need provide. 3. O Jesus, by thee bidden, we here adore thee, hidden in forms of bread and wine. Grant when the veil is risen, we may behold, in heaven, thy countenance divine.
