At Even, Ere the Sun Was Set
Author: Henry Twells, 1823-1900 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 322 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. Topics: Closing and Vesper Hymns Used With Tune: ABENDS
At Even, Ere the Sun Was Set
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. Used With Tune: ABENDS Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719, alt.

O Love divine, whose constant beam
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

Unless the Lord the House Shall Build
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord the house shall build,
the weary builders toil in vain;
unless the Lord the city shield,
the guards a useless watch maintain.
2 In vain you rise ere morning break,
and late your nightly vigils keep,
and of the bread of toil partake;
God gives to his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are a great reward,
a gift from God in very truth;
with arrows is his quiver stored
who joys in children of his youth.
4 And blest the man whose age is cheered
by stalwart sons and daughters fair;
no enemies by him are feared,
no lack of love, no want of care.
