Vain World, Now Farewell
The sun has gone down
Author: S. O. Brun Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #554 (1913) Meter: 5.11.11.11.11.5.5 Lyrics: 1 The sun has gone down
And peace has descended on country and town;
The songbirds in silence have flown to their nest,
And flowers are closing their petals in rest;
So closes my heart to annoyance and care,
In homage and prayer,
In homage and prayer.
2 I praise for this day
The Father in heaven, who prospered my way,
Who shielded from danger, protected from harm,
Promoted my labor, and strengthened my arm;
For hours that passed lightly as birds on the wing,
Thanksgiving I bring,
Thanksgiving I bring.
3 Forgive me, O Lord,
My sins and transgressions in deed and in word!
Thou knowest my heart and my innermost thought,
The words I have spoken, the deeds I have wrought,
My errors and failings I deeply regret,
Forgive and forget!
Forgive and forget!
4 I ask for no more;
My light I extinguish and fasten the door,
And seeking my chamber, betake me to rest,
Assured that my slumber this night will be blest,
I fondly confide to Thy care and control
My body and soul,
My body and soul. Topics: Family Prayer Evening; Family Prayer Evening Tune Title: [The sun has gone down]

And flowers are closing their petals in rest;
So closes my heart to annoyance and care,
In homage and pray'r,
In homage and pray'r.

Forgive and restore!

The Sun Has Gone Down
Vain world, fare thee well!
Author: Thomas Kingo,1634-1703; J. C. Aaberg Hymnal: Hymns and Hymnwriters of Denmark #21 (1945) Meter: 5.11.11.11.11.5 Lyrics:
Vain world, fare thee well!
I purpose no more in thy bondage to dwell;
The burdens which thou hast enticed me to bear,
I cast now aside with their troubles and care.
I spurn thy allurements, which tempt and appall;
’Tis vanity all!
What merit and worth
Hath all that the world puts so temptingly forth!
It is naught but bubbles and tinctured glass,
Loud clamoring cymbals and shrill sounding brass.
What are their seductions which lure and enthrall;
’Tis vanity all!
O honor and gold,
Vain idols which many with worship behold!
False are your affluence, your pleasure and fame;
Your wages are envy, deception and shame,
Your garlands soon wither, your kingdom shall fall;
’Tis vanity all!
O carnal desire,
Thou tempting, consuming and treacherous fire,
That catches like tinder and scorches like flame,
Consigning the victim to sorrow and shame,
Thy honeyest potion is wormwood and gall;
’Tis vanity all!
Then, fare thee farewell,
Vain world, with thy tempting and glamorous spell!
Thy wiles shall no longer my spirit enslave,
Thy splendor and joy are designed for the grave
I yearn for the solace from sorrows and harm
Of Abraham’s arm!
There shall all my years
I bloom like the lily when summer appears;
There day is not ruled by the course of the sun
Nor night by the silvery light of the moon;
Lord Jesus shall shine as my sun every day
In heaven for aye.

Vain world, fare thee well!
Suffer and languish
Author: Nikolai Frederick Severin Grundtvig, 1783-1872; J. C. Aaberg Hymnal: Hymns and Hymnwriters of Denmark #91 (1945) Meter: 5.11.11.11.11.5 Lyrics:
Suffer and languish,
Tremble in anguish
Must every soul that awakes to its guilt.
Sternly from yonder,
Sinai doth thunder:
Die or achieve what no sinner fulfilled.
Tremble with gladness,
Smile through their sadness
Shall all that rest in the arms of the Lord.
Grace beyond measure,
Comfort and treasure
Gathers the heart from His merciful word.
Bravely to suffer,
Gladly to offer
Praises to God ’neath the weight of our cross,
This will the Spirit
Help us to merit
Granting a breath from God’s heaven to us.

O Land Of Our King
Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #246 (1927) Meter: 5.11.11.11.11.5 First Line: O land of our King! Lyrics: 1 O land of our King!
Where harvest embraces the flowery spring,
Where all things worth having forever remain,
Where nothing we miss but our sorrow and pain,
All mankind is longing to find and explore
Thy beautiful shore.
2 How blessed the land!
Where time is not measured by tears or with sand,
Where fades not the flower, the bird never dies,
Where joys are not bubbles that break as they rise,
Where life does not crown us with white for the gloom
Of death and the tomb.
3 How blessed to be
Where death has no sting, where from sin we are free,
Where all that decayed in new glory shall bloom,
Where all that was ruined shall rise from the tomb,
Where love grows in light as a summer day fair
With flower-crowned hair.
4 My spirit receives
Thro' Christ what the world neither knows nor believes,
This while we are here, we but dimly can know,
Tho' feeling within us its heavenly glow.
The Lord saith: On earth as in heaven above
My kingdom is love. Topics: Comfort and Hope Languages: English Tune Title: [O land of our King]
