Now the Day Is Over

Author: S. Baring-Gould, 1834-1924 Hymnal: ELH1996 #560 (1996) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over, Night is drawing nigh; Shadows of the evening Steal across the sky. 2 Jesus, give the weary Calm and sweet repose; With Thy tend'rest blessing May mine eyelids close. 3 Comfort ev'ry suff'rer Watching late in pain; Those who plan some evil From their sin restrain. 4 Through the long night watches, May Thine angels spread Their bright wings above me, Watching round my bed. 5 When the morning wakens, Then may I arise Pure and fresh and sinless In Thy holy eyes.

Abide with Me; Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: H. F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: ELH1996 #561 (1996) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide. The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away. Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me! 3 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free. Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me. 4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings, Tears for all woes, a heart for ev'ry plea. O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in every youth didst smile, And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee. On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 I need Thy presence ev'ry passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 7 I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still if Thou abide with me. 8 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies; Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

O Christ, our Light, upon us shine Lest we to sin's dark ways incline. 2 We thank Thee that throughout the day Thine angles kept all harm away. Thy grace from care and vexing fear Hath led us on in safety here. 3 Lord, if we angered Thee today, Remember not our sins, we pray, But let Thy mercy o'er them sweep, And give us calm and restful sleep. 4 Let angels guard our sleeping hours And drive away all evil powers; Our soul and body, while we sleep, In safety, gracious Father, keep.

We read that Thou, 0 Lord, remaining, Didst all their doubts and fears allay. Incline Thine ear, Thou King of grace, When, praying thus, we seek Thy face. 2 At eventide, Thy Spirit sending, Help us, 0 Lord, our watch to keep, In prayer devout, before Thee bending, Ere our eyelids close in sleep, Confessing sin in deed and word With hope of mercy from the Lord. 3 Abide with us; with heav'nly gladness Illumine, Lord, our darkest day; And when we weep in pain and sadness, Be Thou our solace, strength, and stay. Tell of Thy woe, Thy vict'ry won, When Thou didst pray: "God's will be done." 4 Abide with us, 0 Savior tender, That bitter day when life shall end, When to the grave we must surrender, And fear and pain our hearts shall rend. The shield of faith do Thou bestow When trembling we must meet the foe. 5 When earthly help no more availeth, To sup with us Thou wilt be nigh; Thou givest strength that never faileth, In Thee we grave and death defy. While earth is fading from our sight, Our eyes behold the realms of light. Languages: English Tune Title: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT

Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadow

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76 Hymnal: ELH1996 #569 (1996) 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 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, O 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. Languages: English Tune Title: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN
