Lord of Our Life and God of Our Salvation

Author: Philip Pusey; Matthäus A. von Löwenstern Meter: 11.11.11.6 Appears in 220 hymnals First Line: Lord of our life, and God of our salvation Lyrics: 1 Lord of our life and God of our salvation, Star of our night and Hope of every nation, Hear and receive Thy Church's supplication, Lord God Almighty. 2 See round Thine ark the hungry billows curling; See how thy foes their banners are unfurling. Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling, Thou canst preserve us. 3 Lord, Thou canst help when earthly armor faileth; Lord, Thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth; Lord, o'er Thy Church nor death nor hell prevaileth; Grant us Thy peace, Lord: 4 Peace in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging; Peace in Thy Church where brothers are engaging; Peace when the world its busy war is waging. Calm Thy foes' raging. 5 Grant us Thy help till backward they are driven; Grant them Thy truth that they may be forgiven; Grant peace on earth or, after we have striven, Peace in Thy heaven. Amen.

O God, Be with Us

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Petrus Herbert; Unknown Meter: 11.11.11.6 Appears in 192 hymnals First Line: O God be with us, for the night is falling Lyrics: 1 Now God be with us, for the night is falling: For Thy protection we to Thee are calling; Beneath Thy shadow to our rest we yield us; Thou, Lord, wilt shield us. 2 May evil fancies flee away before us; Till morning cometh, watch, O Father, o’er us; In soul and body Thou from harm defend us, Thine angels send us. 3 While we are sleeping, keep us in Thy favor; When we awaken, let us never waver All day to serve Thee, Thy due praise pursuing In all our doing. 4 Thro' Thy Beloved soothe the sick and weeping And bid the captive lose his grief in sleeping; Widows and orphans, we to Thee commend them, Do Thou befriend them. 5 We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us, Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us; But Thy dear presence will not leave them lonely Who seek Thee only. 6 Thy name be hallowed and Thy kingdom given, Thy will among us done as 'tis in heaven; Feed us, forgive us, from all ill deliver Now and forever. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Scripture: Psalm 121:3 Used With Tune: DIE NACHT IST KOMMEN Text Sources: Tr. based on Catherine Winkworth, 1863
