And now another Day is gone

Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Evening Hymn Lyrics: I. And now another Day is gone; The Sun has left the shore; All seek for Rest, whose Work is done, And leave the lab'ring Oar. II. But thou, my God, want'st no such Rest; Thy Glory knows no Night; With Thee thy Darkness can't contest, For Thou thy self art Light. III. In Mercy, Lord, remember me, This instant passing Night; And grant to me most graciously The Safeguard of thy Might. IV. Destroy old Satan's Tyranny, By th' Holy Angel's Host; So shall I be from Danger free; And Sorrow will be lost. V. And though I feel the Lord of Sin, Which still oppresses me, Yet th' Anguish thy dear son was in, Has greater Weight with Thee. VI. 'Tis he alone that pleads for me; His Merits hide my Drime: A Reprobate I ne'er can be While I've a Share in him. VII. With chearful Heart I close my Eyes, Since thou'lt not from me move. O, in the Morning let me rise Rejoicing in thy Love. VIII. Away from me, ye vain Desires: A new Design I start; A Temple in me God requires; And it shall be my Heart. IX. O, if this Night shall prove my last, And end my transient Days, Convey me to thy promis'd Rest, Where I may sing thy Praise. X. Thus I desire to live and dye To Thee the God of Love; In Life and Death I do rely On Thee who reign'st above. Used With Tune: [And now another Day is gone]

Hear my prayer, O Heavenly Father

Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Evening Hymns in general Lyrics: 1 Hear my prayer, O heavenly Father, Ere I lay me down to sleep; Bid Thy angels, pure and holy, Round my bed their vigil keep. 2 Great my sins are, but Thy mercy Far outweighs them ev'ry one; Down before Thy cross I cast them, Trusting in Thy help alone. 3 Keep me, through this night of peril, Underneath its boundless shade; Take me to Thy rest, I pray Thee, When my pilgrimage is made! 4 None shall measure out Thy patience By the span of human thought; None shall bound the tender mercies Which Thy holy Son hath wrought. 5 Pardon all my past transgressions; Give me strength for days to come;, Guide and guard me with Thy blessing, Till Thine angels bid me home!
