Our God Eternal, Reigning

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our God eternal, reigning, creation's life sustaining, our refuge and our home; enthroned, in light surrounded, when earth was yet unfounded, the living God, to him we come. 2 We fade, a dream that passes, like withered meadow grasses when summer's sun has shone. Before that face all-seeing of God who gave us being, we pass away and we are gone. 3 O God of mercy, hear us, in steadfast love draw near us, from age to age the same; that we, be grace defended, when earthly days are ended, may live to praise a Savior's name.

The Restless Day Now Closeth

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Claus August Wendell Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The restless day now closeth, Each flow'r and tree reposeth, Shade creeps o'er wild and wood: Let us, as night is falling, On God our Maker calling, Give thanks to Him, the Giver good. 2 Now all the heav'nly splendor Breaks forth in starlight tender From myriad worlds unknown; And man, the marvel seeing, Forgets his selfish being, For joy of beauty not his own. 3 While all in peace reposeth, And starry night discloseth The glory of the Lord, My prayers and yearnings wander To realms of glory yonder, Where saints of God have their reward. 4 When life's brief day is over, And twilight shadows cover The last end of my way, Dear Lord and blessed Saviour, Forgive my heart's behavior, And grant me Thou a brighter day. Amen. Topics: Occasional Evening; Evening; Heaven Yearning for Used With Tune: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN

The silent moon is risen

Author: Matthias Claudius Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The silent moon is risen, The golden star-fires glisten In heaven serene and bright; The forest sleeps in shadow, And slowly off the meadow A mist si curling, silver-white. 2 The veil of night is closing Around a world reposing In calm and holy trust; It seems like one still chamber, Where weary hearts remember No more the sorrows of the dust. 3 Behold the full moon beaming! So round and fair 'tis gleaming, Yet half is hid from sight. So, oft on earth, deceive us Things that now seem so grievous, Because the half is veiled in night 4 We, poor, frail mortals, groping, Half fearing and half hoping, In darkness seek our way; Our airy cobwebs spinning With erring and with sinning, Far from the mark we stray. 5 Thy saving health, O grant us, Lord, that we ne'er may vaunt us In vain and fleeting show; But child-like and confiding, Follow Thy gentle guiding, And in Thy paths with gladness go. 6 When death comes to release us With kindly hand, and frees us Ere life's a weary load; Then, when earth's ties we sever, Take us to Thee forever, Thou kind, Thou true, Thou gracious God! 7 The night's cool breath is creeping; Brothers, in God's good keeping Your weary eyelids close. His grace from ill defend us, And peaceful slumber send us, And soothe our poor sick neighbor's woes! Topics: The Catechism Evening Used With Tune: INNSPRUCK Text Sources: Tr. Anon.
