O God, the Rock of Ages
Author: Rev. Edward H. Bickersteth Hymnal: Laudes Domini #89 (1888) Languages: English Tune Title: CAROLYN
O God, the Rock of Ages
Everlasting--Ps. 90
Author: E. H. Bickersteth Hymnal: Laudes Domini #119 (1890) First Line: O God, the Rock of Ages Lyrics: 1 O God, the Rock of Ages,
Who evermore hast been,
What time the tempest rages,
Our dwelling-place serene:
Before thy first creations,
O Lord, the same as now,
To endless generations,
The Everlasting thou!
2 Our years are like the shadows
On sunny hills that lie,
Or grasses in the meadows
That blossom but to die:
A sleep, a dream, a story,
By strangers quickly told,
An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old.
3 O thou who canst not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale,
Teach us aright to number
Our years before they fail!
On us thy mercy lighten,
On us thy goodness rest,
And let thy Spirit brighten
The hearts thyself hast blessed! Topics: Attributes; Death; Eternity; God Attributes; God Eternity; Hope In Death; Rock of Ages; Year, Close of; Death; Eternity; God Attributes; God Eternity; Hope In Death; Rock of Ages; Year, Close of Languages: English Tune Title: CAROLYN

Behold the western evening light
Behold The Western Evening Light
Author: William B. O. Peabody Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10407 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Behold the western evening light! Lyrics: 1 Behold the western evening light!
It melts in deepening gloom:
So calmly Christians sink away,
Descending to the tomb.
The winds breathe low, the withering leaf
Scarce whispers from the tree;
So gently flows the parting breath,
When good men cease to be.
2 How beautiful on all the hills
The crimson light is shed!
’Tis like the peace the Christian gives
To mourners round his bed.
How mildly on the wandering cloud
The sunset beam is cast!
’Tis like the memory left behind
When loved ones breathe their last.
3 And now above the dew of night
The rising star appears:
So faith springs in the heart of those
Whose eyes are bathed in tears.
But soon the morning’s happier light
Its glory shall restore,
And eyelids that are sealed in death
Shall wake to close no more. Languages: English Tune Title: CAROLYN
