The day is past and gone

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #317 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Daily Devotion Evening Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone, The ev'ning shades appear; O may I ever keep in mind, The night of death draws near. 2 Lord keep me safe this night, Secure from all my fears: May angels guard me while I sleep, Till morning light appears. 3 And when I early rise, And view th' unwearied sun, May I set out to win the prize, And after glory run: 5 That when my days are past, And I from time remove, Lord I may in Thy bosom rest, The bosom of Thy love.

Through the day Thy love hath spared us

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #318 (1880) Topics: Daily Devotion Evening Lyrics: 1 Through the day Thy love hath spared us, Soon we lay us down to rest; Through the silent watches guard us, Let no foe our peace molest; Jesus, Thou our guardian be, Sweet it is to trust in Thee. 2 Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers, Dwelling in the midst of foes; Us and ours preserve from dangers; In Thine arms may we repose; And, when life's short day is past, Rest with Thee in heaven at last.

Savior! breathe an evening blessing

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #319 (1880) Topics: Daily Devotion Evening Lyrics: 1 Savior! 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 arrows 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.

The silent moon is risen

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #322 (1880) Topics: Daily Devotion Evening Lyrics: 1 The silent moon is risen, The golden star-fires glisten In heaven serene and bright; The forest sleeps in shadow, And slowly off the meadow A mist si curling, silver-white. 2 The veil of night is closing Around a world reposing In calm and holy trust; It seems like one still chamber, Where weary hearts remember No more the sorrows of the dust. 3 Behold the full moon beaming! So round and fair 'tis gleaming, Yet half is hid from sight. So, oft on earth, deceive us Things that now seem so grievous, Because the half is veiled in night 4 We, poor, frail mortals, groping, Half fearing and half hoping, In darkness seek our way; Our airy cobwebs spinning With erring and with sinning, Far from the mark we stray. 5 Thy saving health, O grant us, Lord, that we ne'er may vaunt us In vain and fleeting show; But child-like and confiding, Follow Thy gentle guiding, And in Thy paths with gladness go. 6 When death comes to release us With kindly hand, and frees us Ere life's a weary load; Then, when earth's ties we sever, Take us to Thee forever, Thou kind, Thou true, Thou gracious God! 7 The night's cool breath is creeping; Brothers, in God's good keeping Your weary eyelids close. His grace from ill defend us, And peaceful slumber send us, And soothe our poor sick neighbor's woes! Languages: English

When darkness, death, and terrors rise, Thy grace shall still for me suffice. 2 All praise to Christ my Savior give, For He this day hath let me live My life away in His dear name: "To live is Christ, to die is gain." 3 O Holy Ghost, Thy grace impart, To rest in Christ my troubled heart. O sweet the rest Thy grace goth bring, And bids me to my Saviour cling. 4 Now say good night! May angels bright Kep watching o'er me through the night, And spread their guardian, heavenly wings, O'er these my wearied, slumb'ring limbs. 5 "And now I lay me down to sleep; I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray, Thee, Lord, my soul to take." 6 Now say good night! To all, good night! God keep you safe till morning's light, That with His praise you all may wake; "And this I ask for Jesus sake." Languages: English

My God, what inward grief I feel

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #336 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Daily Devotion Lyrics: My God, what inward grief I feel When impious men transgress thy will! I mourn to hear their lips profane Take thy tremendous name in vain. Does not my soul detest and hate The sons of malice and deceit? Those that oppose thy laws and thee, I count them enemies to me. Lord, search my soul, try every thought; Though my own heart accuse me not Of walking in a false disguise, I beg the trial of thine eyes. Doth secret mischief lurk within? Do I indulge some unknown sin? O turn my feet whene'er I stray, And lead me in thy perfect way. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English

My flesh with fear and wonder stands, The product of thy skill; And hourly blessings from thy hands Thy thoughts of love reveal. These on my heart by night I keep; How kind, how dear to me! O may the hour that ends my sleep Still find my thoughts with thee! Scripture: Psalm 139:17-18 Languages: English
