The day is gently sinking to a close

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: HPEC1917 #7a (1898) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Tune Title: NACHTLIED Lyrics: 1 The day is gently sinking to a close, Fainter and yet more faint the sunlight glows: O Brightness of Thy Father's glory, Thou Eternal Light of Light, be with us now: Where Thou art present darkness cannot be; Midnight is glorious noon, O Lord, with Thee. 2 Our changeful lives are ebbing to an end: Onward to darkness and to death we tend: O Conqueror of the grave, be Thou our guide, Be Thou our light in death's dark eventide; Then in our mortal hour will be no gloom, No sting in death, no terror in the tomb. 3 Thou, Who in darkness walking didst appear Upon the waves, and Thy disciples cheer; Come, Lord, in lonesome days, when storms assail, And earthly hopes and human succors fail: When all is dark may we behold Thee nigh, And hear Thy voice -- "Fear not, for it is I." 4 The weary world is mouldering to decay, Its glories wane, its pageants fade away; In that last sunset when the stars shall fall, May we arise awakened by Thy call, With Thee, O Lord, forever to abide In that blest day which has no eventide. Amen. Topics: Daily Prayer Evening; Faith Languages: English

Wesley Hymnal: HPEC1917 #185 (1898) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Title: NARENZA Lyrics: 1 Lord of the harvest, hear Thy needy servants' cry; Answer our faith's effectual prayer, And all our wants supply. 2 On Thee we humbly wait; Our wants are in Thy view: The harvest, Lord, is truly great, The laborers are few. 3 Anoint and send forth more Into Thy Church abroad, And let them speak Thy word of power, As workers with their God. 4 Oh, let them spread Thy name, Their mission fully prove: Thy universal grace proclaim, Thine all-redeeming love.
