Righteous Father, We Have Wronged Thee

Author: William H. Draper Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5794 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Righteous Father, we have wronged Thee, Underfoot Thy laws have cast: Now we fain would serve Thee better, O forgive us what is past. 2. Loving Jesus, we have hurt Thee, Yielded to temptation’s blast: Now we long to stand more firmly, O forgive us what is past. 3. Holy Spirit, we have grieved Thee, Sin and death have held us fast: Now we yearn for life and freedom, O forgive us what is past. 4. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God eternal, first and last, Penitent we kneel before Thee, O forgive us all the past. Languages: English Tune Title: PORTSEA

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. 5. Father, to thy holy keeping Humbly we ourselves resign; Savior, who hast slept our sleeping, Make our slumbers pure as thine 6. Blessèd Spirit, brooding o’er us, Chase the darkness of our night, Till the perfect day before us Breaks in everlasting light. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENING PRAYER (Stebbins)

Savior, Visit Thy Plantation

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5926 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Savior, visit Thy plantation, Grant us, Lord, a gracious rain! All will come to desolation, Unless Thou return again. 2. Keep no longer at a distance, Shine upon us from on high; Lest, for want of Thine assistance; Every plant would droop and die. 3. Surely, once Thy garden flourished, Every part looked gay and green; Then Thy Word our spirits nourished, Happy seasons we have seen! 4. But a drought has since succeeded, And a sad decline we see; Lord, Thy help is greatly needed, Help can only come from Thee. 5. Where are those we counted leaders, Filled with zeal, and love, and truth? Old professors, tall as cedars, Bright examples to our youth! 6. Some, in whom we once delighted, We shall meet no more below; Some, alas! we fear are blighted, Scarce a single leaf they show. 7. Younger plants—the sight how pleasant, Covered thick with blossoms stood; But they cause us grief at present, Frosts have nipped them in the bud! 8. Dearest Savior, hasten hither, Thou canst make them bloom again; O, permit them not to wither, Let not all our hopes be vain! 9. Let our mutual love be fervent, Make us prevalent in prayers; Let each one esteemed Thy servant, Shun the world’s bewitching snares. 10. Break the tempter’s fatal power, Turn the stony heart to flesh; And begin, from this good hour, To revive Thy work afresh. Languages: English Tune Title: RATHBUN

Watch and war ’mid fear and pain; Daily conquering sin and sorrow, Till our king o’er earth shall reign. Languages: English Tune Title: RINGE RECHT

Spouse of Christ, in Arms Contending

Author: Jean B. de Contes, ?-1679; William Palmer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5939 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Spouse of Christ, in arms contending O’er each clime beneath the sun, Blend with prayers for help ascending Notes of praise for triumphs won. 2. As the Church today rejoices All her saints to join on high, So from earth let all our voices Rise in solemn harmony. 3. First amid the laurelled legions Prays the mother to her Son, Close to Christ in those fair regions Where high praise to Him is done. 4. Angels next, in due gradation Of the Spirit’s ministry, Hymn the Father of creation, Maker of the stars on high. 5. John, the herald voice sonorous, Head of the prophetic throng, Patriarchs, and seers in chorus, Join to swell the angels’ song. 6. Near to Christ th’Apostles seated, Trampling on the powers of hell, By the promise now completed Judge the tribes of Israel. 7. They who nobly died believing, Martyrs purpled in their gore, Crowns of life by death receiving, Rest in joy forevermore. 8. Priests and Levites, Gospel preachers, And confessors numberless, Prelates meek and holy teachers, Bear the palm of righteousness. 9. Virgin souls, by high profession To the Lamb devoted here, Strewing flowers in gay procession At the marriage feast appear. 10. All are blest together, praising God’s eternal majesty, Thrice repeated anthems raising To the all holy Trinity. 11. In your heav’nly habitations, In your blessèd home on high, Hear, ye saints, our aspirations, As to God we lift our cry. 12. Ever praising, ever praying, Help ye thus your brethren here, That the will of God obeying We in peace may persevere. 13. So may we, with hearts devoted, Serve our God in holiness; So may we, by God promoted, Share that heaven which ye possess. Languages: English Tune Title: GOTT WILL'S MACHEN

Silently the Shades of Evening

Silently the shades of evening Gather round my lowly door; Silently they bring before me Faces I shall see no more. 2. O the lost, the unforgotten, Though the world be oft forgot! O the shrouded and the lonely, In our hearts they perish not! 3. Living in the silent hours, Where our spirits only blend, They, unlinked with earthly trouble, We, still hoping for its end. 4. How such holy memories cluster, Like the stars when storms are past, Pointing up to that fair heaven, We may hope to gain at last. Languages: English Tune Title: STOCKWELL
