Now Rest beneath Night's Shadow

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #282 (1978) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadow The woodland, field, and meadow - The world in slumber lies. But you, my heart, awaking And prayer and music making: Let praise to your creator rise. 2 Lord Jesus, since you love me, Now spread your wings above me And shield me from alarm. Though evil would assail me, Your mercy will not fail me; I rest in your protecting arm. 3 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. Topics: Evening; Evening Languages: English Tune Title: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN

Upon the Cross Extended

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76; J. Kelly, 1833-90 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #304 (1996) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross extended, See, world, thy Lord suspended; Thy Savior yields His breath. The Prince of Life from heaven Himself hath freely given To shame and blows and bitter death. 2 Come hither now and ponder, 'Twill fill thy soul with wonder, Blood streams from ev'ry 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 hath bruised Thee? Who hath so sore abused Thee And caused Thee all Thy woe? While we must make confession Of sin and dire transgression, Thou deeds of evil dost not know. 4 I caused Thy grief and sighing By evils multiplying As countless as the sands. I caused the woes unnumbered With which Thy soul is cumbered, Thy sorrows raised by wicked hands. 5 'Tis I who should be smitten, My doom should here be written: Bound hand and foot in hell. The fetters and the scourging, The floods around Thee surging, 'Tis I who have deserved them well. 6 The load Thou takest on Thee, That pressed so sorely on me, It crushed me to the ground. The cross for me enduring, The crown for me securing, My healing in Thy wounds is found. 7 A crown of thorns Thou wearest, My shame and scorn Thou bearest, That I might ransomed be. My Bondsman, ever willing, My place with patience filling, From sin and guilt hast made me free. 8 Thy cords of love, my Savior, Bind me to Thee forever, I am no longer mine. To Thee I gladly tender All that my life can render And all I have to Thee resign. 9 The cross I'll place before me, Its saving pow'r be o'er me, Wherever I may be; Thine innocence revealing Thy love and mercy sealing, The pledge of truth and constancy. 10 How God at our transgression To anger gives expression, How loud His thunders roll, How fearfully He smiteth, How sorely He requiteth,- All this Thy suff'rings teach my soul. 11 When evil men revile me, With wicked tongues defile me, I'll curb my vengeful heart. The unjust wrong I'll suffer, Unto my neighbor offer Forgiveness for each bitter smart. 12 Thy groaning and thy sighing, Thy bitter tears and dying, With which Thou wast oppressed,- They shall, when life is ending, Be guiding and attending My way to Thine eternal rest.

The Duteous Day Now Closeth

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Robert S. Bridges Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #342 (2017) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 The duteous day now closeth, each flow'r 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 heav'nly splendor 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 th'abyss of wonder; to heav'n 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.

O Thou, who dost accord us

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #356 (1913) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who dost accord us The highest prize and guerdon, Thou hope of all our race, Jesus, do Thou afford us The gift we ask of pardon For all who humbly seek thy face. 2 With whispered accusation Our conscience tells of sinning In thought, and word, and deed; Thine is our restoration, The work of grace beginning For souls from every burden freed. 3 For who, if Thou reject us, Shall raise the fainting spirit? 'Tis thine alone to spare:' If Thou to life elect us, With cleanséd hearts to near it, Shall be our task, our lowly prayer. 4 O Trinity most glorious, Thy pardon free bestowing, Defend us evermore; That in Thy courts victorious, Thy love more truly knowing, We may with all Thy saints adore.
