Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom
Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-90 Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Appears in 1,224 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 112 Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom;
lead thou me on.
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
lead thou me on.
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
the distant scene - one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
shouldst lead me on.
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
lead thou me on.
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears
pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still
will lead me on,
o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
the night is gone;
and with the morn those angel faces smile,
which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

Saviour, again to thy dear name we raise
Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 851 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 112:4 Lyrics: 1 Saviour, again to thy dear name we raise
with one accord our parting hymn of praise;
we stand to bless thee ere our worship cease;
then, lowly kneeling, wait thy word of peace.
2 Grant us thy peace upon our homeward way;
with thee began, with thee shall end, the day:
guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
that in this house have called upon thy name.
3 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night;
turn thou for us its darkness into light;
from harm and danger keep thy children free,
for dark and light are both alike to thee.
4 Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life,
our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife;
then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: ELLERS

Death of the Righteous
Author: Mrs. Anna L. Barbauld Appears in 466 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 112:6 First Line: How blest the righteous when he dies Lyrics: 1 How blest the righteous when he dies,--
When sinks a weary soul to rest!
How mildly beam the closing eyes!
How gently heaves the expiring breast!
2 So fades a summer-cloud away;
So sinks the gale when storms are o'er
So gently shuts the eye of day;
So dies a wave along the shore.
3 A holy quiet reigns around,--
A calm which life nor death destroys;
And naught disturbs that peace profound,
Which his unfettered soul enjoys.
4 Life's labor done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies;
While heaven and earth combine to say,---
"How blest the righteous when he dies!" Topics: Death Used With Tune: ZEPHYR

Remembered
Author: P. P. B. Appears in 102 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 112:6 First Line: Fading away like the stars of the morning Refrain First Line: Ever remembered, for ever remembered Lyrics: 1 Fading away like the stars of the morning
Losing their light in the glorious sun.
So let me steal away, gently and lovingly,
Only remembered by what I have done,
Only remembered by what I have done.
Chorus:
Ever remembered, for ever remembered,
Ever remembered while the years are rolling on;
Ever remembered, for ever remembered,
Only remembered by what I have done.
2 So let my name and my place be forgotten,
Only my life race be patiently run;
So let me pass away, peacefully, silently,
Only remembered by what I have done,
Only remembered by what I have done. [Chorus]
3 So, in the harvest, if others may gather
Sheaves from the fields that in spring I have sown;
Who plowed or sowed matters not to the reaper--
I'm only remembered by what I have done. [Chorus]
4 Fading away like the stars of the morning,
So let my name be unhonored, unknown;
Here, or up yonder, I must be remembered--
Only remembered by what I have done. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Fading away like the stars of the morning] Text Sources: Subject from H. Bonar.

The light of home, the smile of friends,
Our households in Thy care enfold
As Thou didst keep Thy folk of old.
2 Wilt Thou not hear us while we raise,
In sweet accord of solemn praise,
The voices that have mingled long
In joyous flow of mirth and song?
3 For all the blessings life has brought,
For all its sorrowing hours have taught,
For all we mourn, for all we keep,
The hands we clasp, the loved that sleep.
4 We thank Thee, Father! let Thy grace
Our loving circle still embrace,
Thy mercy shed its heavenly store,
Thy peace be with us evermore.
Amen. Used With Tune: BROOKFIELD
