Dagen viger og gaar bort

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 Dagen viger og gaar bort, Luften bliver tyk og sort, Solen har alt dalet plat, Det gaar ad den mørke Nat. 2 Tiden sagte lister sig, Glasset rinder hastelig, Døden os i Hælen gaar, Evigheden forestaar. 3 Nu en Dag jeg ældre blev, Det er som min Tankebrev, At jeg med min Vandringsstav Helder nærmere min Grav. 4 Ret nu blinked' Solens Lys, Nu er skummelt i hvert Hus; Saa forandres alle Ting, Til vi gjør det sidste Spring. 5 Kjære Sjæl, kom det ihu Og derhos bekjend kun nu, At du som et Adams Barn Hildes tidt i Syndens Garn. 6 Denne Dag er du ei kvit, At du jo er falden tidt; Reis dig og med Bøn gak hen Til din Gud i Himmelen! 7 Ved om Naade, og gjør Bod, Tvæt din Sjæl i Christi Blod, Slip ham ikke med dit Skrig, Før han faar velsignet dig! 8 Nu, min Jesu, Sjælens Skat, Tag din Bolig her i Nat, Se, jeg har et Hvilested I mit Hjerte dig beredt! 9 Lad din stærke Englevagt Paa mit Leie give Agt, Mine Venner og min Slegt Tag og i din Varetægt! 10 Vær din Menigheds Forsvar, Ordets Tjener bevar, At de maa som Hyrder tro Føde dine Faar i Ro! 11 Alle Herrers Herre bold, Vær du Øvrighedens skjold, Giv den her al Fryd og Fred, Hisset evig Salighed! 12 De, som e'r i Landets Raad, Herre, styr selv deres Daad, At de trolig, en og hver, Naade det, som tjenligt er1 13 Stil de syges Hjerteve, Tænk paa de Bedrøvede, Vær de Faderløses Trøst, Og giv Agt paa Enkens Røst! 14 Til en Blund staar nu mit Sind, Men førend jeg slumrer ind, Vil jeg hos mit Hvilerum Staa og tænke mig lidt om: 15 At det er saaledes fat, Jeg engang den lange Nat Skal iblandt de Dødes Tal Sove i den mørke Dal. 16 Fire Fjæle er min Pragt, Hvorudi jeg blive lagt Med et Lagen og lidt mer, Eier ikke saa en Fjær. 17 Alle verdslig' Ting forgaar, Jeg til Herlighed opstaar, Naar Gud ved Basunens Lyd Kalder mig til evig Fryd.

Now condescend, almighty King

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: Children's Evening Hymn Lyrics: 1 Now condescend, almighty King, To bless this little throng; And kindly listen while we sing Our pleasant evening song. 2 Brothers and sisters, hand in hand, Our lips together move: Oh, smile upon this little band, Unite our hearts in love. 3 We come to own the power divine That watches o'er our days; For this our feeble voices join; To God we give the praise. 4 May we in safety sleep to-night, From every danger free; For, Lord, the darkness and the light Are both alike to thee. 5 And when the rising sun displays His cheering beams abroad, Then may our grateful morning lays Declare the love of God.

Good and gentle art Thou forever; Hear us now. 4 Coming morrows we may never Live to see; All we ask Thee is to keep us Safe with Thee. 5 May our dreams be of Thy kingdom Full of grace, Where at last we hope to meet Thee Face to face. 6 We are only little children Kneeling here, And we want our loving Father Always near. 7 Take us in Thy arms, and keep us As Thine own; Gather us like little sunbeams Round Thy throne. 8 There, when all our prayers are ended, Faults forgiven, May we live with Thee for ever Up in heaven.

To thee, great Lord, my heav'nly King

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 To thee, great Lord, my heav'nly King, My pray'r and praise shall be, My soul shall of thy mercies sing, Which thou hast shown to me. 2 From all the dangers of this day, Thou Lord hast kept me free; Thou art my only trust and stay, And thankful I should be. 3 Now Lord this day is past and gone, And darkness covers me; Now I should think on what I've done, And what my case may be. 4 Have I to thee obedient been, To serve thee all this day? Have I this day avoided sin, Have I not gone astray? 5 Could I but know how vile I am, And my transgressions see, My mercies, Lord, I durst not claim, Nor lift mine eyes to thee. 6 How oft in thought, and word and deed Have I offended thee; Yet I my Saviour's merits please, Which have aton'd for me. 7 Therefore, O Lord! I pray to thee, Forgive what I have done, My gracious Lord will pardon me, For Jesus' sake alone. 8 And now I lay me down to sleep, To take my needful rest; I pray the Lord, my life to keep, As he may think it best.

O may we all one bread, one body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. *1 At that first Eucharist before you died, O Lord, you prayed that all be one in you; At this our Eucharist again preside, And in our hearts your law of love renew. O may we all one bread, one body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 2 For all thy Church, O Lord, we intercede; Make thou our sad divisions soon to cease; Draw us the nearer each to each we plead, By drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace; Thus may we all one bread, one body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 3 We pray thee, too, for wand'rers from thy fold; O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep, Back to the faith which saints believed of old, Back to the Church which still that faith doth keep; Soon may we all one bread, one body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease, May we be one with all thy Church above, One with thy saints in one unbroken peace, One with thy saints in one unbounded love; More blessed still in peace and love to be One with the Trinity in Unity.

Unto the Lord, my gracious God

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 Unto the Lord, my gracious God, I offer humble praise; Whose mercies are to me renew'd' Which I enjoy always. 2 How great his love to me has been, Beyond the reach of mind; Though I have spent this day in sin, His mercies still I find. 3 This day is gone, and spent and past, And will return no more: Thus to eternity I haste, With ev'ry fleeting hour. 4 With ev'ry closing of the day, And setting of the sun. My precious moments fly away, And choicest minutes run. 5 Could I but know how vile I am, And feel my wretched state: My soul would fill with fear and shame, With sorrow and regret. 6 O wretched in my state indeed, I must confess and own; And what can I poor sinner plead? In all that I have done. 7 For Jesus' sake my sins forgive! Cause me in peace to sleep; In thy protection me receive, And safely there to keep.
