Last beam
Appears in 163 hymnals First Line: Fading, still fading, the last beam is shining Lyrics: 1 Fading, still fading, the last beam is shining;
Father in heaven! the day is declining,
Safety and innocence fly with the light,
Temptation and danger walk forth with the night;
From the fall of the shade till the morning bells chime,
Shield me from danger, save me from crime.
Father, have mercy, Father, have mercy,
Father, have mercy, thro' Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 Father in heaven! oh, hear when we call,
Hear, for Christ's sake, who is Saviour of all;
Feeble and fainting we trust in thy might,
In doubting and darkness thy love be our light;
Let us sleep on thy breast while the night taper burns,
Wake in thy arms when morning returns.
Father, have mercy, Father, have mercy,
Father, have mercy, thro' Jesus Christ our Lord.

Person Name: Unknown Author Author of "Fading, still fading" in Many Voices; or, Carmina Sanctorum, Evangelistic Edition with Tunes In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon
1707 - 1791 Person Name: Selina Huntington Author of "Fading, still fading, the last beam is shining" in New Christian Hymn and Tune Book Born: August 24, 1707, Astwell House, Nottinghamshire, England.
Died: June 17, 1791, London, England.
Buried: St. Helen’s Church, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicester, England.
Selena Huntingdon, née Shirley, Countess of, daughter of Washington, Earl Ferrers, was born Aug. 24, 1707; married to Theophilus Hastings, 9th Earl of Huntindon, June, 1728; and d. in London, June 17, 1701. At an early age she received serious religious impressions, which continued with her, and ruled her conduct through life. She was a member of the first Methodist Society, in Fetter Lane, London, and the first Methodist Conference was held at her house in June, 1744. Her sympathies, however, were with the Calvinism of G. Whitefield, and when the breach took place between Whitefield and Wesley she joined the former. Her money was freely expended in chapel building, in the founding of Trevecca College, South Wales (now Cheshunt), and in the support of her preachers. A short time before her death the Connection which is known by her name was founded; and at her death it numbered more than sixty chapels. For use in these chapels she compiled A Select Collection of Hymns. Her own part in hymn-writing is most uncertain. The hymns, "Come, Thou Fount of every blessing," and "O when my righteous Judge shall come", have been specially claimed for her, but upon insufficient testimony. No mention of these hymns as being by her is made in her Life and Times, 1839. Miller says, "although the Countess was not much known as a hymn-writer, yet it is proved beyond doubt that she was the author of a few hymns of great excellence" (Singers & Songs, 1869, p. 183): but he neither names the hymns, nor submits the evidence. It is most uncertain that she ever wrote a hymn; and it is quite clear that upon reliable evidence not one has yet been ascertained to be of her composing. Her history and that of her Connexion are elaborately set forth in The Life and Times of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon, London, Painter, 1839.
