Hear Thy Children, Gentle Jesus

Author: Francis Stanfield Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6457 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Hear Thy children, gentle Jesus, While we breathe our evening prayer; Save us from all harm and danger, Take us ’neath Thy sheltering care. 2 Save us from the wiles of Satan, ’Mid the lone and sleepful night Sweetly may our guardian angels Keep us ’neath their watchful sight. 3 Gentle Jesus, look in pity From Thy glorious throne above: All the night Thy care is wakeful In Thy sacrament of love. 4 Shades of even fast are falling, Day is fading into gloom; When the shades of death fall round us, Lead Thy exiled children home.

Take My Heart, O Father!

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6469 Meter: 8.7.8.7 First Line: Take my heart, O Father! take it Lyrics: 1. Take my heart, O Father! take it; Make and keep it all Thine own; Let Thy Spirit melt and break it— This proud heart of sin and stone. 2.

Ever let Thy grace surround me, Strengthen me with power divine, Till Thy cords of love have bound me; Make me to be wholly Thine. 4. May the blood of Jesus heal me And my sins be all forgiv’n; Holy Spirit, take and seal me, Guide me in the path of Heav’n. Languages: English Tune Title: TALMAR

Tarry with Me (Smith)

Author: Caroline L. Smith Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6496 Meter: 8.7.8.7 First Line: Tarry with me, O my Savior Lyrics: 1. Tarry with me, O my Savior, For the day is passing by; See! the shades of evening gather, And the night is drawing nigh. 2. Deeper, deeper grow the shadows, Paler now the glowing west, Swift the night of death advances; Shall it be the night of rest? 3. Lonely seems the vale of shadow; Sinks my heart with troubled fear; Give me faith for clearer vision, Speak Thou, Lord, in words of cheer. 4. Let me hear Thy voice behind me, Calming all these wild alarms; Let me, underneath my weakness, Feel the everlasting arms. 5. Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying, Lord, I cast myself on Thee; Tarry with me through the darkness; While I sleep, still watch by me. 6. Tarry with me, O my Savior, Lay my head upon Thy breast Till the morning; then awake me— Morning of eternal rest. Here is Smith's original version, which can be sung to the following tunes: BLAGDON, Charles E. Stephens LAUDA ANIMA, John Goss, 1869 NEALE, William H. Monk, 1868 PICARDY, French carol melody 1. Tarry with me, O my Saviour! For the day is passing by; See, the shades of evening gather, And the night is drawing nigh; Tarry with me—tarry with me; Pass me not unheeded by! 2. Many friends were gathered round me, In the bright days of the past; But the grave has closed above them, And I linger here the last! I am lonely: tarry with me Till this dreary night is past. 3. Dimmed for me is earthly beauty; Yet the spirit’s eye would fain Rest upon thy lovely features: Shall I seek, dear Lord, in vain? Tarry with me, O my Saviour! Let me see thy smile again. 4. Dull my ear to earth-born music: Speak thou, Lord! in words of cheer; Feeble, tottering my footstep, Sinks my heart with sudden fear: Cast thine arms, dear Lord! around me, Let me feel thy presence near. 5. Faithful memory paints before me Every deed and thought of sin; Open thou the blood-filled fountain, Cleanse my guilty soul within: Tarry, thou forgiving Saviour! Wash me wholly from my sin. 6. Deeper, deeper grow the shadows; Paler now the glowing west; Swift the night of death advances,— Shall it be a night of rest? Tarry with me, O my Saviour! Lay my head upon thy breast. 7. Feeble, trembling, panting, dying, Lord! I cast myself on thee: Tarry with me through the darkness, While I sleep, still watch by me, Till the morning,—then awake me Dearest Lord! to dwell with thee.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6625 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There’s a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. 2. There is no place where earth’s sorrows Are more felt than up in Heaven; There is no place where earth’s failings Have such kindly judgment given. 3. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in His blood. 4. There is grace enough for thousands Of new worlds as great as this; There is room for fresh creations In that upper home of bliss. 5. For the love of God is broader Than the measure of our mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 6. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 7. ’Tis not all we owe to Jesus; It is something more than all; Greater good because of evil, Larger mercy through the fall. 8. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord. 9. Souls of men! why will ye scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts! why will ye wander From a love so true and deep? 10. It is God: His love looks mighty, But is mightier than it seems; ’Tis our Father: and His fondness Goes far out beyond our dreams. 11. But we make His love too narrow By false limits of our own; And we magnify His strictness With a zeal He will not own. 12. Was there ever kinder shepherd Half so gentle, half so sweet, As the Savior who would have us Come and gather at His feet? Languages: English Tune Title: WELLESLEY

Valley lilies, golden hearted, Love’s sweet mission you fulfill, For you tell in perfumed language, How He wrought His Father’s will. 4. Valley lilies, cups inverted, Still the Master you proclaim: Empty of all pomp and glory, To redeem the world He came. Languages: English Tune Title: RATHBUN

Hark! A Voice Is Loudly Ringing

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7087 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Hark! a voice is loudly ringing Through the mists that cloud the night; Banish hence your idle dreaming— Christ descendeth from the height. 2 Soul of mine, bestir! awaken! Prone on earth no longer lie; Every dismal cloud shall vanish— See, His star is in the sky! 3 Lo! the Lamb to earth descendeth, Bearing pardon to our race; Come with tears and seek forgiveness From the fullness of His grace. 4 When He comes again in brightness, Filling earth with woeful dread, May the shield of His protection O’er our trusting souls be spread. 5 Virtue, honor, praise, and glory To the Father and the Son, With the Paraclete most holy, Now, and while the ages run.
