Family prayer

Darkness o'er the earth is stealing

Author: M. B. Landstad Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #558 (1913) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Family Prayer Evening; Family Prayer Evening Lyrics: 1 Darkness o'er the earth is stealing-- In my lonely chamber kneeling, I will say my evening prayer, Longing for a closer union, With my God I hold communion And commit me to His care. 2 Yes, it is a blessed favor To commune with Thee, my Savior, Filled with hope and faith sincere; Cheer my heart, my burden lighten-- May Thy word my pathway brighten, To my prayer incline Thine ear! 3 Thee, my God, I fain would follow, Love and honor, but how shallow And inconstant is my love! Spread the veil of mercy over All my sins, my errors cover With compassion from above! 4 Let Thine eye be vigil keeping Over me while I am sleeping. And my waking moments heed; May Thy love be unabated, Be with those who are elated, And those who are in need! 5 Help the wanderer, cold and weary, On the highway dark and dreary-- May he find a open door! Those who on the stormy ocean Ply their trade 'mid wild commotion-- Guide them safely to the shore! 6 Hear the sick who are imploring Thee for aid, their health restoring, To the dying comfort bring! Christ, who bore our sin and sorrow, Grant them that the dawning morrow Come with healing on its wing. 7 When at last the shadows darken, Come and to my prayer, O hearken, Set us all from bondage free; Then, beyond this vale of sorrow, There shall dawn a brighter morrow, When Thy face in heaven we see. Tune Title: [Darkness o'er the earth is stealing]

Thou knowest my heart and my innermost thought, The words I have spoken, the deeds I have wrought, My errors and failings I deeply regret, Forgive and forget! Forgive and forget! 4 I ask for no more; My light I extinguish and fasten the door, And seeking my chamber, betake me to rest, Assured that my slumber this night will be blest, I fondly confide to Thy care and control My body and soul, My body and soul. Tune Title: [The sun has gone down]

Author: Mrs. H. B. Stowe Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #549 (1913) Topics: Family Prayer Morning; Family Prayer Morning Lyrics: 1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee; Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee! 2 Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows, The solemn hush of nature newly born; Alone with Thee, in breathless adoration, In the calm dew and freshness of the morn. 3 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber, Its closing eye looks up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose beneath the wings o’ershading, But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there. 4 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning, When the soul waketh, and life’s shadows flee; O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee! Tune Title: [Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh]

Though Satan would devour me, Let angel-guards sing o'er me: This child of God shall meet no harm. 5 My loved ones, rest securely, For God this night will surely From perils guard your heads; Sweet slumbers may He send you, And bid His hosts attend you, And through the night watch o’er your beds.
