Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadows
Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadows
All woodlands, fields, and meadows,
The world in slumber lies.
But thou, my soul, awake thee,
To song and pray'r betake thee,
Let praise to thy Creator rise.
2 The rule of day is over,
And shining jewels cover
The sky above so blue.
Thus I shall shine in heaven,
Where crowns of gold are given
To all who faithful stay and true.
3 Ye members weak and tired,
Enjoy the rest desired,
The quiet sleep ye crave.
There comes a time for sleeping
In God's own faithful keeping,
When ye are bedded in your grave.
4 My tired eyes are closing,
And while I lie reposing,
Soul, body, where are ye?
To Thee be they commended,
O God, till night is ended;
Thy waking Eye watch over me!
5 Lord Jesus, who dost love me,
Thy pinions spread above me
And shield me well from harm.
Let angel guards attend me,
And from the foe defend me,
That I may rest without alarm.

Now All the Woods Are Sleeping
O God, Before I Slumber
Author: H. Steffensen Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, before I slumber
This night, now dark and somber,
Incline Thine ear to me;
For all, which Thou hast given,
For Thy sweet gifts from heaven,
I give my humble thanks to Thee.
2 Thy grace and loving kindness
To me, beset with blindness,
I do not understand;
The more Thy gifts I ponder,
The greater is my wonder,
When I behold Thy bounteous hand.
3 Each day, anew beginning,
I know that I am sinning
Against Thy precious Word;
But Thou my sins forgivest,
Thou, who forever livest,
A merciful and faithful Lord.
4 Thou unto me art bending
And hearest when I'm sending
To Thee my longing sigh;
My soul Thy grace adoreth,
Thy Spirit me restoreth
To worship Thee, my God on high.
5 O Lord, my Comfort tender,
To Thee I do surrender
My body, soul, and all.
I lay me down asleeping,
Relying on Thy keeping,
And on Thy mighty arm I fall. Topics: Morning and Evening Used With Tune: [O God, before I slumber]

O World, See Here Suspended
Author: Anna Hoppe; Paul Gerhardt, 1606-1676 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O world, see here suspended,
His loving arms extended,
They Savior on the cross!
The Prince of life is willing,
All righteousness fulfilling,
To suffer anguish, scorn and loss.
2 O Thou, who hearts dost quicken,
Why art Thou sorrow-stricken,
Why all this nameless pain?
While we must make confession
Of sin and dire transgression,
No sin on Thee hath left a stain.
3 'Tis I whom sins encumber,
Whose misdeeds far outnumber
The sands upon the shore;
I caused Thy condemnation,
Thy deep humiliation,
And all the wounds that pain Thee sore.
4 The burden Thee molesting,
The weight upon Thee resting,
The heavy load is mine.
A curse on Thee is pressing,
That I may reap a blessing;
Thy pain to me is balm divine.
5 My bondsman ever willing,
My place with patience filling,
And sharing all my guilt,
A crown of thorns Thou wearest,
And my disgrace Thou bearest,
While saying, Father, as Thou wilt!
6 Death for a time must hold Thee,
The grave, too, must enfold Thee,
Lest I should be its prey;
Death, who for me had tarried,
Death now himself lies buried,
And I shall live with Thee for aye.

O Zion, Rise And Brighten
Author: Martin Opitz Meter: 7.7.6.7.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Zion, rise and brighten,
The morn begins to lighten:
Thy Light draws nigh to thee.
The brightness of His rising,
With radiance surprising,
Thine eyes shall now rejoice to see.
2 While earth is still beclouded
And many Gentiles shrouded
In dreary darkness lie,
The Light of joy and gladness
Dispelleth all thy sadness
And glory crowns thee from on high.
3 On ev'ry land and nation
The God of our salvation
Doth make His sun to shine;
And all shall learn the story
Of Christ, the Sun of glory,
That fills thy heart with light divine.
4 Behold the vast commotion,
How, crossing sea and ocean,
The nations come to thee!
Thy fame hath reached their hearing,
And they in hosts are nearing
To see thy light and bow the knee.
5 Rejoice, and cease thy weeping,
Thy heart within thee leaping,
Look out upon the sea,
Where ships, swift in their courses,
Bring myriad Gentile forces,
Who seek the Light that shines on thee.
6 What mighty delegations
From Ephah and far nations!
All Midian draws night!
Fair Shebah gold is bringing,
And all unite in singing
The praises of the Lord on high. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Used With Tune: INNSBRUCK Text Sources: Tr. Composite

Blessed Be the Day When I Must Roam (Moravian Emigrants' Hymn)
Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Blessed be the day when I must roam Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the day when I must roam
far from my country, friends, and home,
an exile, poor and mean;
my fathers' God will be my Guide,
will angel guards for me provide,
my soul, my soul in danger screen.
2 My God will lead me to a spot
where, all my cares and griefs forgot,
I shall enjoy sweet rest.
As pants for cooling streams the hart,
I languish for my heavenly part,
for God, for God, my Refuge blessed.
