Dread Sov'reign, let my evening song

Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCLVI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 Dread Sov'reign, let my evening song Like holy incense rise; Assist the off'rings of my tongue To reach the lofty skies. 2 Through all the dangers of the day, Thy hand was still my guard, And still to drive my wants away Thy mercy stood prepar'd. 3 Perpetual blessings from above, Encompass me around; But O, how few returns of love Hath my Creator found! 4 What have I done for him who dy'd To save my wretched soul? How are my follies multiply'd, Fast as my minutes roll. 5 Lord, with this guilty heart of mine, To thy dear cross I flee, And to thy grace my soul resign To be renew'd by thee. Languages: English

Saviour, breathe an evening blessing

Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: The Hymnal #47 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 Saviour, breathe an evening blessing, Ere repose our spirits seal; Sin and want we come confessing: Thou canst save, and Thou canst heal. 2 Though destruction walk around us, Though the arrow past us fly, Angel guards from Thee surround us: We are safe if Thou art nigh. 3 Though the night be dark and dreary, Darkness cannot hide from Thee; Thou art He who, never weary, Watchest where Thy people be. 4 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. Tune Title: EVENING PRAYER

We Owe the Lord an Evening Song

Author: Lois L. Holdeman Hymnal: Hymns of the Church #64 (2011) Topics: Evening hymns Refrain First Line: Yes, Lord, we thank Thee for this day Lyrics: 1 We owe the Lord an evening song Of thankfulness and praise, For giving us our daily bread, And light and truth and grace. Refrain: Yes, Lord, we thank Thee for this day, Though it is past and gone. We needs must go the narrow way, So Thou canst lead us Home. 2 'Tis thru Thy love that we are saved, And by Thy grace we stand On solid ground thru storms of life, And not on sinking sand. [Refrain] 3 We know that now the night has come, The day is spent! But how? Have we with lips and actions too, Been calling sinners now? [Refrain] 4 If we have failed to do His will Let's cast our sins aside, Let's kneel right down before our rest, And all to Him confide. [Refrain] Languages: English

The shadows of the evening hours

Author: Adelaide A. Procter Hymnal: The Hymnal #36 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 The shadows of the evening hours Fall from the darkening sky; Upon the fragrance of the flowers The dews of evening lie: Before Thy throne, O Lord of heaven, We kneel at close of day; Look on Thy children from on high, And hear us while we pray. 2 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord, O do not Thou despise, But let the incense of our prayers Before Thy mercy rise. The brightness of the coming night Upon the darkness rolls; With hopes of future glory chase The shadows on our souls. 3 Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God, Upon our souls descend; From midnight fears and perils, Thou Our trembling hearts defend: Give us a respite from our toil, Calm and subdue our woes; Through the long day we labor, Lord, O give us now repose. Amen. Tune Title: ST. LEONARD (HILES)

At even, when the sun was set

Author: Rev. Henry Twells Hymnal: The Hymnal #43 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 At even, when the sun was set, The sick, O Lord, around Thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we, Oppressed with various ills, draw near: What if Thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that Thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel: For some are sick, and some are sad, And some have never loved Thee well, And some have lost the love they had. 4 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, For none are wholly free from sin; And they who fain would serve Thee best Are conscious most of wrong within. 5 O Saviour Christ, Thou too art man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide. 6 Thy touch has still its ancient power; No word from Thee can fruitless fall: Hear in this solemn evening hour, And in Thy mercy heal us all. Amen. Tune Title: ANGELUS
