Softly now the light of day

Author: George W. Doane Appears in 899 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day Fades upon my sight away; Free from care, from labor free, Lord, I would commune with Thee. 2 Thou, whose all-pervading eye Nought escapes without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin. 3 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known All of man's infirmity; Then, from Thine eternal throne, Jesus, look with pitying eye. 4 Soon, for me, the light of day Shall forever pass away; Then, from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee. Amen. Topics: Communion With God; Evening Used With Tune: HOLLEY

Behold a Stranger at the Door

Author: Joseph Grigg Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 633 hymnals First Line: Behold a stranger at the door! Lyrics: 1 Behold a stranger at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long--is waiting still: You treat no other friend so ill. 2 O lovely attitude, He stands With melting heart and laden hands! O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes. 3 But will He prove a friend indeed? He will; the very friend you need; The Friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed on Calvary. 4 Admit Him, lest His anger burn, And He, departing, ne'er return; Admit Him, or the hour's at hand You'll at His door rejected stand. Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Invitation to Repentance; Trinity, Twentieth Sunday Used With Tune: HOLLEY
