With ever joyful hearts And blessed peace to cheer us; And keep us in his grace, And guide us when perplexed, And free us from all ills In this world and the next. 3 All praise and thanks to God The Father now be given, The Son and Spirit blest, Who reigns in highest heaven: The one eternal God, Whom heaven and earth adore; For thus it was, is now And shall be, evermore.

The day is gently sinking to a close

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Appears in 150 hymnals Topics: God Our Guide Lyrics: 1 The day is gently sinking to a close, Fainter and yet more faint the sunlight glows: O Brightness of Thy Father's glory, Thou Eternal Light of Light, be with us now: Where Thou art present darkness cannot be; Midnight is glorious noon, O Lord, with Thee. 2 Our changeful lives are ebbing to an end; Onward to darkness and to death we tend; O Conqueror of the grave, be Thou our guide, Be Thou our Light in death's dark eventide; Then in our mortal hour will be no gloom, No sting in death, no terror in the tomb. 3 Thou who in darkness walking didst appear Upon the waves, and Thy disciples cheer, Come, Lord, in lonesome days, when storms assail, And earthly hopes and human succors fail; When all is dark, may we behold Thee nigh, And hear Thy voice: "Fear not, for it is I." 4 The weary world is mould'ring to decay, Its glories wane, its pageants fade away; In that last sunset, when the stars shall fall, May we arise, awakened by Thy call, With Thee, O Lord, forever to abide In that blest day which has no eventide! Amen. Used With Tune: CONWAY

Shall hearts fail, hands hang down? Shall we evade the conflict, and cast away our crown? Not so; in God's deep counsels some better thing is stored: we will maintain, unflinching, "One church, one faith, one Lord!" 4 Your mercy will not fail us, nor leave your work undone; with your right hand to help us the victory shall be won, and then by earth and heaven your name shall be adored, and this shall be our anthem, "One church, one faith, one Lord!"
