Bondage and death the cup contains

Author: Lucius M. Sargent Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bondage and death the cup contains, Dash to the earth the poisoned bowl! Softer than silk are iron chains, Compared with those that chafe the soul. 2 Hosannas, Lord, to Thee we sing, Whose power the giant fiend obeys; What countless thousands tribute bring, For happier home and brighter days! 3 Thou wilt not break the bruised reed, Nor leave the broken heart unbound; The wife regains a husband freed! The orphan clasps a father found! 4 Spare, Lord, the thoughtless, guide the blind, Till man no more shall deem it just To live, by forging chains to bind His weaker brother in the dust.

Author: Nicholas Hermann Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sunk is the sun's last beam of light, And now the world is wrapt in night; Christ! light us with Thy heavenly ray, Nor let our feet in darkness stray. 2 Thanks, Lord, that Thou throughout the day Hast kept all grief and harm away; That angels tarried round about Our coming in and going out. 3 Whate'er of wrong we've done or said, Let not the charge on us be laid; That through Thy free forgiveness blest, In peaceful slumber we may rest. 4 Thy guardian angels round us place, All evil from our couch to chase; Our soul and body, while we sleep, In safety, gracious Father, keep.
