Our day of praise is done

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #21 (2010) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our day of praise is done; the evening shadows fall; but pass not from us with the sun, true Light that lightenest all. 2 Around the throne on high, where night can never be, the white-robed harpers of the sky bring ceaseless hymns to thee. 3 Too faint our anthems here; too soon of praise we tire; but O the strains how full and clear of that eternal choir! 4 Yet, Lord, to thy dear will if thou attune the heart, we in thine angels’ music still may bear our lower part. 5 ’Tis thine each soul to calm, each wayward thought reclaim, and make our life a daily psalm of glory to thy name. 6 A little while, and then shall come the glorious end; and songs of angels and of men in perfect praise shall blend.

Saviour, again to thy dear name we raise

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #22 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Saviour, again to thy dear name we raise with one accord our parting hymn of praise; we stand to bless thee ere our worship cease; then, lowly kneeling, wait thy word of peace. 2 Grant us thy peace upon our homeward way; with thee began, with thee shall end, the day: guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, that in this house have called upon thy name. 3 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night; turn thou for us its darkness into light; from harm and danger keep thy children free, for dark and light are both alike to thee. 4 Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life, our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife; then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace.

Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear

Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #23a (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear, it is not night if thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise to hide thee from thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep my weary eyelids gently steep, be my last thought, how sweet to rest for ever on my Saviour's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, for without thee I cannot live; abide with me when night is nigh, for without thee I dare not die. 4 If some poor wandering child of thine have spurned today the voice divine, now, Lord, the gracious work begin; let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor with blessings from thy boundless store; be every mourner's sleep tonight like infant's slumbers, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, ere through the world our way we take; till in the ocean of thy love we lose ourselves in heaven above.

Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go

Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #24 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Saviour, bless us ere we go; thy word into our minds instil, and make our lukewarm hearts to glow with lowly love and fervent will. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our Light. 2 The day is done, its hours have run, and thou hast taken count of all, the scanty triumphs grace hath won, the broken vow, the frequent fall. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our Light. 3 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways true absolution and release; and bless us, more than in past days, with purity and inward peace. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our Light. 4 Do more than pardon; give us joy, sweet fear and sober liberty, and simple hearts without alloy that only long to be like thee. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our Light. 5 For all we love, the poor, the sad, the sinful, unto thee we call; O let thy mercy make us glad: thou art our Jesus, and our All. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our Light. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Evening Scripture: Psalm 27:1 Languages: English Tune Title: ST MATTHIAS

The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #26 (2010) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended, the darkness falls at thy behest; to thee our morning hymns ascended, thy praise shall sanctify our rest. 2 We thank thee that thy church unsleeping, while earth rolls onward into light, through all the world her watch is keeping, and rests not now by day or night. 3 As o'er each continent and island the dawn leads on another day, the voice of prayer is never silent, nor dies the strain of praise away. 4 The sun that bids us rest is waking our brethren 'neath the western sky, and hour by hour fresh lips are making thy wondrous doings heard on high. 5 So be it, Lord; thy throne shall never, like earth’s proud empires, pass away; thy kingdom stands, and grows for ever, till all thy creatures own thy sway.

The duteous day now closeth

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; Robert Seymour Bridges, 1844-1930 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #27 (2010) Meter: 7.7.8.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 The duteous day now closeth, each flower and tree reposeth, shade creeps o’er wild and wood; let us, as night is falling, on God our Maker calling, give thanks to Him, the giver good. 2 Now all the heavenly splendour breaks forth in starlight tender from myriad worlds unknown; and man, the marvel seeing, forgets his selfish being, for joy of beauty not his own. 3 His care he drowneth yonder, lost in the abyss of wonder; to heaven his soul doth steal; this life he disesteemeth, the day it is that dreameth, that doth from truth his vision seal. 4 Awhile his mortal blindness may miss God’s loving-kindness, and grope in faithless strife; but when life’s day is over shall death’s fair night discover the fields of everlasting life.

The radiant morn hath passed away

Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #28 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 The radiant morn hath passed away, and spent too soon her golden store; the shadows of departing day creep on once more. 2 Our life is but an autumn sun, its glorious noon how quickly past! Lead us, O Christ, thou living Way, safe home at last. 3 O by thy soul-inspiring grace uplift our hearts to realms on high; help us to look to that bright place beyond the sky. 4 Where light and life and joy and peace in undivided empire reign, and thronging angels never cease their deathless strain 5 where saints are clothed in spotless white, and evening shadows never fall, where thou, eternal Light of light, art Lord of all.

The sun is sinking fast

Author: Anonymous; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #29 (2010) Meter: 6.4.6.6 Lyrics: 1 The sun is sinking fast, the daylight dies; let love awake, and pay her evening sacrifice. 2 As Christ upon the cross his head inclined, and to his Father's hands his parting soul resigned, 3 so now herself my soul would wholly give into his sacred charge, in whom all spirits live; 4 so now beneath his eye would calmly rest, without a wish or thought abiding in the breast, 5 save that his will be done, whate'er betide; dead to herself, and dead in him to all beside. 6 Thus would I live: yet now not I, but he, in all his power and love henceforth alive in me. 7 One sacred Trinity! One Lord divine! May I be ever his, and he for ever mine. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Evening Languages: English Tune Title: ST COLUMBA (IRONS)
