That all of woman born may see The glory of Thy face. 7 Spirit divine, attend our prayers, Make a lost world Thy home; Descend with all Thy gracious powers, O come, great Spirit, come!

Saviour, breathe an evening blessing

Author: James Edmeston Appears in 848 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, breath an evening blessing, Ere repose our spirits seal; Sin and want we come confessing, Thou canst save, and Thou canst heal; Though destruction walk around us, Though the arrow past us fly, Angel-guards from Thee surround us, We are safe if Thou art nigh. 2 Though the night be dark and dreary, Darkness cannot hide from Thee; Thou art He who, never weary, Watchest where Thy people be; Should swift death this night o'ertake us, And our couch become our tomb, May the morn in heaven awake us, Clad in light and deathless bloom. Amen. Topics: Christ Savior; Evening; God Defender; God Our Guardian Used With Tune: MIDDLETON

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Author: Sabine Baring-Gould; Bernhard S. Ingemann Appears in 317 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the promised land. Clear before us, through the darkness, Gleams and burns the guiding light; Brother clasps the hand of bother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 One the light of God's own presence O'er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Brightening all the path we tread: One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires. 3 One the strain the lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun: One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the one Almighty Father, Reigns in love for evermore. Amen. Topics: Church Communion of Saints; Church nature of; Church Unity of; Communion with saints; Peace Among Brethren; Processional; Sympathy Of Christians Used With Tune: MIDDLETON

The Prince of Peace

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 356 hymnals First Line: Light of those whose dreary dwelling Lyrics: 1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling Borders on the shades of death! Rise on us, thy love revealing, Dissipate the clouds beneath: Thou of heaven and earth Creator, In our deepest darkness rise, Scattering all the night of nature, Pouring day upon our eyes. 2 Still we wait for thine appearing; Life and joy thy beams impart, Chasing all our fears, and cheering Every poor benighted heart: Come and manifest thy favor To the ransomed, helpless race; Come, thou glorious God and Saviour! Come, and bring the gospel grace. 3 Save us, in thy great compassion, O thou mild, pacific Prince! Give the knowledge of salvation, Give the pardon of our sins; By thine all-sufficient merit, Every burdened soul release; Every weary, wandering spirit, Guide into thy perfect peace.
