The sun has gone down

Author: S. O. Brun Meter: 5.11.11.11.11.5.5 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sun has gone down And peace has descended on country and town; The songbirds in silence have flown to their nest, And flowers are closing their petals in rest; So closes my heart to annoyance and care, In homage and prayer, In homage and prayer. 2 I praise for this day The Father in heaven, who prospered my way, Who shielded from danger, protected from harm, Promoted my labor, and strengthened my arm; For hours that passed lightly as birds on the wing, Thanksgiving I bring, Thanksgiving I bring. 3 Forgive me, O Lord, My sins and transgressions in deed and in word! 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.

In Jesus' name

Author: J. Frederiksen Meter: 4.6.10.7.4.6.6.6.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In Jesus' name Our work must all be done If it shall compass our true good and aim, And not end in shame alone; For every deed Which in it doth proceed, Success and blessing gains Till it the goal attains. Thus we honor God on high And ourselves are blessed thereby; Wherein our true good remains. 2 In Jesus' name We praise our God on high, He blesses them who spread abroad His fame, And we do His will thereby. E'er hath the Lord Done great things by His word, And still doth bare His arm His wonders to perform; Hence we should in every clime Magnify His name sublime, Who doth shield us from all harm. 3 In Jesus' name We live and we will die; If then we live, His love we will proclaim; If we die, we gain thereby. In Jesus' name, Who from heaven to us came, We shall again rise To meet Him in the skies, When at last, saved by His grace, We shall see Him face to face, Live with Him in Paradise.

Alas! and did my Savior bleed

Author: I. Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,364 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creatures' sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness! And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away: 'Tis all that I can do.

What a friend we have in Jesus

Author: Joseph Scriven Appears in 1,763 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear-- All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer! 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a Friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness-- Take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge!-- Take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there.
