Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear

Author: John Keble Hymnal: CHRC1920 #11 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earth born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My weary eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest For ever on my Saviour's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till even, For without Thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die. 4 If some poor wandering child of Thine Have spurned to-day the voice divine Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep to-night, Like infant's slumbers, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake Ere through the world our way we take Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above.

Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Author: H. F. Lyte Hymnal: CHRC1920 #12 (1920) 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 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 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. 5 Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes: Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee: In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Softly now the light of day

Author: G. W. Doane Hymnal: CHRC1920 #13 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day Fades upon my sight away; Free from care, from labour free, Lord, I would commune with Thee. 2 Thou, Whose all-pervading eye Naught escapes, without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin. 3 Soon, for me, the light of day Shall for ever pass away; Then, from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee. 4 Thou, Who, sinless, yet hast known All of man's infirmity; Then, from Thine eternal throne, Jesus, look with pitying eye.

At even, when the sun was set

Author: H. Twells Hymnal: CHRC1920 #14 (1920) Lyrics: 1 At even, when the sun was set, The sick, O Lord, around Thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away. 2 Once more 't is eventide, and we Oppress'd with various ills draw near; What if Thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that Thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel; For some are sick, and some are sad. And some have never loved Thee well, And some have lost the love they had. 4 And some have found the world is vain, Yet from the world they break not free, And some have friends who give them pain, Yet have not sought a friend in Thee. 5 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, For none are wholly free from sin; And they who fain would love Thee best Are conscious most of wrong within. 6 O Saviour Christ, Thou too art Man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried, Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide. 7 Thy touch has still its ancient power; No word from Thee can fruitless fall; Hear, in this solemn evening hour, And in Thy mercy heal us all.

The shadows of the evening hours

Author: A. A. Procter Hymnal: CHRC1920 #15 (1920) Lyrics: 1 The shadows of the evening hours Fall from the dark'ning sky; Upon the fragrance of the flowers The dews of evening lie. 2 Before Thy throne, O Lord of heaven, We kneel at close of day; Look on Thy children from on high, And hear us while we pray. 3 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord, O do not Thou despise, But let the incense of our prayers Before Thy mercy rise. 4 The brightness of the coming night Upon the darkness rolls; With hopes of future glory chase The shadows on our souls. 5 Slowly the rays of daylight fade: So fade within our heart The hopes in earthly love and joy, That one by one depart. 6 Slowly the bright stars, one by one, Within the heavens shine: Give us, O Lord, fresh hopes in heaven, And trust in things divine. 7 Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God, Upon our souls descend; From midnight fears, and perils, Thou Our trembling hearts defend: 8 Give us a respite from our toil; Calm and subdue our woes; Through the long day we labour, Lord, O give us now repose.

The day is past and over

Author: J. M. Neale; Anatolius Hymnal: CHRC1920 #16 (1920) Lyrics: 1 The day is past and over; All thanks, O Lord, to Thee! I pray Thee that offenceless The hours of dark may be. O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight, And save me thro' the coming night! 2 The joys of day are over: I lift my heart to Thee; And call on Thee that sinless The hours of gloom may be. O Jesus, make their darkness light, And save me through the coming night! 3 The toils of day are over; I raise the hymn to Thee, And ask that free from peril The hours of fear may be: O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight, And guard me through the coming night. 4 Lighten mine eyes, O Saviour, Or sleep in death shall I, And he, my wakeful tempter, Triumphantly shall cry "He could not make their darkness light, Nor guard them through the hours of night." 5 Be Thou my soul's preserver, O God! for Thou dost know How many are the perils Through which I have to go. Lover of men, O hear my call, And guard and save me from them all! Topics: Daily Prayer Evening Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANATOLIUS

Saviour, breathe an evening blessing

Author: J. Edmeston Hymnal: CHRC1920 #17 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, breathe an evening blessing, Ere repose our spirits seal; Sin and want we come confessing; Thou canst save and Thou canst heal. 2 Though the night be dark and dreary, Darkness cannot hide from Thee; Thou art He Who, never weary, Watchest where Thy people be. 3 Though destruction walk around us, Though the arrows past us fly, Angel-guards from Thee surround us; We are safe, if Thou art nigh. 4 Be Thou nigh, should death o'ertake us; Jesu then our refuge be, And in Paradise awake us, There to rest in peace with Thee. 5 Father, to Thy holy keeping Humbly we ourselves resign; Saviour, Who hast slept our sleeping, Make our slumbers pure as Thine; 6 Blessed Spirit, brooding o'er us, Chase the darkness of our night, Till the perfect day before us Breaks in everlasting light.

All praise to Thee, my God, this night

Author: T. Ken Hymnal: CHRC1920 #18 (1920) Lyrics: 1 All praise to Thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light: Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Beneath Thine own Almighty wings. 2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done; That with the world, myself, and Thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 3 Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed; Teach me to die, that so I may Rise glorious at the awful day. 4 O may my soul on Thee repose, And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close; Sleep that shall me more vigorous make To serve my God when I awake. 5 When in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heav'nly thoughts supply; Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, No powers of darkness me molest. 6 O when shall I, in endless day, For ever chase dark sleep away, And hymns divine with angels sing, All praise to Thee, eternal King? 7 Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, angelic host: Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

God, that madest earth and heaven

Author: R. Heber; R. Whateley Hymnal: CHRC1920 #19 (1920) Lyrics: 1 God, that madest earth and heaven, Darkness and light; Who the day for toil hast given, For rest the night, May Thine angel-guards defend us, Slumber sweet Thy mercy send us, Holy dreams and hopes attend us, This livelong night. 2 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, And, when we die, May we in Thy mighty keeping, All peaceful lie: When the last dread call shall wake us, Do not Thou, our God, forsake us, But to reign in glory take us With Thee on high.

Now from the altar of our hearts

Author: J. Mason Hymnal: CHRC1920 #20 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Now from the altar of our hearts Let flames of love arise; Assist us, Lord, to offer up Our evening sacrifice. 2 Minutes and mercies multiplied Have made up all this day; Minutes came quick, but mercies were More swift, more free than they. 3 New time, new favours, and new joys Do a new song require; Till we shall praise Thee as we would, Accept our heart's desire.
