The happy sunshine all is gone
Author: Nicolaus Herman; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The happy sunshine all is gone,
The gloomy night comes swiftly on;
But shine Thou still, O Christ our Light,
That we walk not in error's night.
2 We thank Thee, Father, that this day
Thy angels watched around our way,
And free from harm and vexing fear
Thy grace has kept, and brought us here.
3 We own that we have angered Thee,
Do Thou forgive us graciously,
Unto our soul impute it not,
And bless with peaceful sleep our cot.
4 Thy angels guard our sleeping hours,
And keep afar all evil powers;
From terrors, fire, and every harm,
This night protect us by Thy arm. Topics: The Catechism Evening Used With Tune: TALLIS' EVENING HYMN

How Blest Are They Who Trust in Christ
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How blest are they who trust in Christ
when we and those we love must part;
we yield them up, for go they must,
but do not lose them from our heart.
2 In ripened age, their harvest reaped,
or gone from us in youth or prime,
in Christ they have eternal life,
released from all the bonds of time.
3 In Christ, who tasted death for us,
we rise above our natural grief,
and witness to a stricken world
the strength and splendor of belief.

Lord Jesus Christ, to thee we pray
Author: William M. Reynolds; Dr. M. Luther Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, Christ, to Thee we pray,
From us God's wrath Thou turn'st away,
Thine agony and bitter death
Redeem us from eternal wrath.
2 That we may never this forget
Thy body for our food is set;
And in the wine Thou giv'st Thy blood
To cleanse our souls, a sacred flood.
3 Let none, impenitent and bold,
This sacred feast profanely hold:
He who unworthy sitteth there
Shall sink to death and dark despair.
4 But praise the Father, by whose love
The Son descended from above,
Became the bread of life to thee,
And bore thy sins upon the tree.
5 Firmly on this thou must believe;
That here the sick their food receive,
Which heals them from the wounds of sin,
Creating heav'nly health within.
6 Such grace and mercy must be sought
By those whom sorrow long hath taught;
If anguish ne'er thy heart hath rent
Be not thy knee there vainly bent.
7 Our Saviour saith: Come unto Me,
Ye who now feel your poverty:
My mercy I will freely give,
Your anguished conscience I'll relieve.
8 Could'st thou unaided this obtain,
Then have I shed my blood in vain;
This feast was vainly spread for thee,
If thou require no food from me.
9 If in thy heart this faith doth rest,
Which thou hast here in words confessed,
A welcome guest thou here shalt be,
And Christ Himself shall banquet thee.
10 But fruits must still thy faith approve;
Thy neighbor thou must truly love;
That love let him from thee receive,
Which here to thee thy God doth give. Topics: The Catechism Holy Communion Used With Tune: TALLIS' EVENING HYMN
