Up To The Hills I Lift Mine Eyes

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 121 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Up to the hills I lift mine eyes, Th’eternal hills beyond the skies; Thence all her help my soul derives; There my almighty refuge lives. 2 He lives, the everlasting God, That built the world, that spread the flood; The heav’ns with all their hosts He made, And darkest regions of the dead. 3 He guides our feet, He guards our way; His morning smiles bless all the day; He spreads the evening veil and keeps The silent hours while Israel sleeps. 4 Israel, a name divinely blest, May rise secure, securely rest; Thy holy guardian’s wakeful eyes Admit no slumber nor surprise. 5 No sun shall smite thy head by day, Nor pallid moon with sickly ray Shall blast thy couch; no baleful star Dart his malignant fire so far. 6 Should earth and hell with malice burn, Still thou shalt go and still return Safe in the Lord; His heav’nly care Defends thy life from every snare. 7 On thee foul spirits have no power; And in thy last departing hour Angels, that trace the airy road, Shall bear thee homeward to thy God.

At Even, Ere the Sun Was Set

Author: Henry Twells, 1823-1900 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 320 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At even, ere 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.

O Light of life, O Saviour dear

Author: Francis T. Palgrave Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Light of life, O Saviour dear, Before we sleep bow down Thine ear: Through dark and day, o'er land and sea, We have no other hope but Thee. 2 Oft from Thy royal road we part, Lost in the mazes of the heart: Our lamps put out, our course forgot, We seek for God, and find Him not. 3 What sudden sunbeams cheer our sight! What dawning risen upon the night! Thou giv'st Thyself to us, and we Find guide and path and all in Thee. 4 Through day and darkness, Saviour dear, Abide with us, more nearly near; Till on Thy face we lift our eyes, The Sun of God's own Paradise. Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Christ Abiding with Believers; Christ Light, Our; Christ Presence, His Living; Christ Guide, Our; Evening hymns; Worship Evening Used With Tune: ABENDS

Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 26:3 Used With Tune: ABENDS
