Now spread are evening’s shadows

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs #62 (1867) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 First Line: Now spread are evening's shadows Lyrics: Now spread are evening’s shadows, O’er forests, towns, and meadows, And sleepeth ev’ry eye; Awake my pow’rs and sing ye, And pray’r and praises bring ye, That your Creator please on high! O Sun! where art thou vanish’d? The night thy light hath banish’d, The night of day the foe; Go then, for now appeareth Another Sun and cheereth My heart—’tis Jesus Christ, my joy! We’ve seen the day’s declining, The golden stars are shining In yonder dark-blue sky. There shall I be for ever When God doth me deliver, From this low vale of misery. To rest the body hasteth, Itself of clothes divesteth, Type of mortality! I’ll put it off, and o’er me Christ will the robe of glory Throw, and of immortality! Head, hands, and feet so tirèd Are glad the day’s expirèd, That work comes to an end; My heart be fill’d with gladness That God from all earth’s sadness, And from sin’s toil relief will send. Lie down, my members tirèd Upon your couch desirèd, Lie down my wearied head! A day and hour is nearing They’ll be for you preparing Beneath the sod, a quiet bed. Mine eyes scarce ope are keeping, A moment—I’ll be sleeping, Where’s body then and soul? In grace Thy care then make me, May evil ne’er o’ertake me, Thou Shepherd Lord of Israel! O Jesus, be my cover! And spread both Thy wings over Thy child, and shield Thou me! Though Satan would devour me, Let angels ever o’er me Sing, “This child shall uninjur’d be!” And you, my well belovèd! Shall by no ill be movèd, No danger shall betide. God peaceful slumbers send you, With golden arms defend you, Send guardian angels to your side! Languages: English

See, world! thy Life assailèd

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #77 (1893) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 SEE, world! thy Life assailèd; On the accursed tree nailèd, Thy Saviour sinks in death! The mighty Prince from heaven Himself hath freely given To shame, and blows, and cruel wrath! 2 Come hither now and ponder, ’Twill fill thy soul with wonder, Blood streams from every pore. Through grief whose depth none knoweth, From His great heart there floweth Sigh after sigh of anguish o’er! 3 Who is it that afflicts Thee? My Saviour what dejects Thee And causeth all Thy woe? Sin Thou committed’st never, As we and our seed ever, Of deeds of evil naught dost know. 4 I many times transgressing, In number far surpassing The sand upon the coast, I thus the cause have given, That Thou with grief art riven, And the afflicted martyr host. 5 I’ve done it, and deliver Me hand and foot forever Thou justly might’st to hell. The mocking to Thee offered, The scourging Thou hast suffered, My soul it was deserved it well. 6 The load Thou takest on Thee, That pressed so sorely on me, Than stone more heavily. A curse, Lord, Thou becamest, Thus blessings for me claimest, Thy pain must all my comfort be. 7 Not death itself Thou fearest, As surety Thou appearest For all my debts and me. For me Thy brow is crownèd With thorns, and Thou’rt disownèd By men, and bear’st all patiently. 8 Into death’s jaws Thou springest, Deliverance to me bringest From such a monster dire. My death away Thou takest, Thy grave its grave Thou makest; Of love, O unexampled fire! 9 I’m bound, my Saviour ever, By ties most sacred never Thy service to forsake; With soul and body ever, With all my powers t’endeavor, In praise and service joy to take. 10 Not much can I be giving In this poor life I’m living, But one thing do I say: Thy death and sorrows ever, Till soul from body sever, My heart remember shall for aye. 11 Before mine eyes I’ll place them, And joyfully embrace them, Wherever I may be, They’ll be a glass revealing Pure innocence, and sealing Love and unfeigned sincerity. 12 Of sin how great the danger; How it excites God’s anger; How doth His vengeance burn; How sternly He chastiseth; How His wrath’s flood ariseth:-- Shall I from all Thy suff’rings learn. 13 From them shall I be learning, How I may be adorning, My heart with quietness, And how I still should love them Whose malice aye doth move them To grieve me by their wickedness. 14 When tongues of bad men grieve me, Of peace and name deprive me, My restive heart I’ll still; Their evil deeds enduring, Of pardon free assuring My neighbor for his every ill. 15 I’ll on the cross unite me To Thee, what doth delight me I’ll there renounce for aye. Whate’er Thy Spirit’s grieving, There I’ll for aye be leaving As much as in my strength doth lay. 16 Thy groaning and Thy sighing, Thy thousand tears and crying, That once were heard from Thee. They’ll lead me to Thy glory, Where I shall joy before Thee, And evermore at rest shall be! Topics: Passion Languages: English
