Amen. Used With Tune: DEUS CREATOR

Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:1-10 Used With Tune: SAMUEL

Menneskens Kjøn Mod Guds enbaarne Søn Stridenden staar for dit Oie; Men for din Naade, o bliv dog her! Natten er skummel, og den er nær. 2 Tunger af Ild, Og dog Prædiken mild Giv dem, du salver og sender! Saligheds Ord I Apostlernes Spor Vandre til Jorderigs Ender, Saa ingen Mennneske Fod har rørt Pletten, hvor ikke dets Røst blev hort! 3 Glæde og Lys Komme med dem til Bys, Blomstre lad Muld, hvor de træde! Styrke og Mod Bringe Svaghed paa Fod, Trøst finde alle, som græde! Ved Evangeliets milde Røst Miskundhed vaagne i hvert et Bryst! 4 Skin over Vang, Som en Morgen med Sang, Morgen i Mai, naar det grønnes! Lifligheds Magt Gjøre Søvnig vakt, Saa paa Guds Naade der skjønnes! Tonerne dybe i Gry og Kveld Røre selv Hjertet, saa hardt som Fjeld! 5 Pintselig Daab Til Guds Herligheds Haab Folkeferd alle gjenføde! Tale og Skrift Om vor Frelsers Bedrift Blomstre som Roserne rode! Livs-Træet skyde af Korsets Rod! Smage lad alle, vor Gud er god! 6 Saligheds Fryd For Gjenløserens Dyd Times lad Mennesker alle! Faderens Raad Og den Hilligaands Daad Sammen i Frelseren falde! Saa af det Hele, som Gud har skabt, Gaar kun Fortabelsens Æt fortabt! Used With Tune: [Du, som gaar ud]

Glæde os Gud i Himmerig! 5 Bevar os, Gud i denne Nat Fra Djævlens listige Pile, I alskens Fare med os stat, Giv os god Ro og Hvile! Glæde os Gud i Himmerig! 6 Vi os befale i din Vold, Naar vi vore Øine lukke, Gud være selv vort Skjul og Skjold Mod alt Ondt, os kan trykke! Glæde os Gud i Himmerig! 7 Giv os en rolig Nat og god, Lad os i Synd ei sovne, Ei gjøre det, dig er imod, Og ei i Sorgen vaagne! Glæde os Gud i Himmerig! 8 Saa vil vi imorgen love dig, Din Godhed glad bekjende, Og siden sødt i Himmerig Dig prise uden Ende. Glæde os Gud i Himmerig!

Yes, we know that thou art near us, and wilt hear us constantly. 3 Yea, we know that thou rejoicest o'er each work of thine; thou didst ears and hands and voices for thy praise design; craftsman's art and music's measure for thy pleasure all combine. 4 In thy house, great God, we offer of thine own to thee; and for thine acceptance proffer all unworthily, hearts and minds and hands and voices in our choicest psalmody. 5 Honour, glory, might and merit thine shall ever be, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, blessèd Trinity.

Lord, thou wilt hear me when I pray

Appears in 246 hymnals Topics: Evening Hymn Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou wilt hear me when I pray; I am for ever thine; I fear before thee all the day, Nor would I dare to sin. 2 And while I rest my weary head, From cares and business free, 'Tis sweet conversing on my bed, With my own heart and thee. 3 I pay this evening sacrifice; And, when my work is done, Great God, my faith and hope relies Upon thy grace alone. 4 Thus with my thoughts compos'd to peace, I'll give mine eyes to sleep; Thy hand in safety keeps my days, And will my slumbers keep.
