Saviour, breathe an evening blessing

Author: James Edmeston; Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 863 hymnals Lyrics: Savior, breathe an evening blessing, Ere repose our spirits seal; Sin and want we come confessing; Thou canst save, and thou canst heal. Though the night be dark and dreary, Darkness cannot hide from thee; Thou art he who, never weary, Watchest where thy people be. Though destruction walk around us, Though the arrows past us fly, Angel-guards from thee surround us; We are safe, if thou art nigh. Be thou nigh, should death o'ertake us; Jesus, then our refuge be, And in Paradise awake us, There to rest in peace with thee. Father, to thy holy keeping Humbly we ourselves resign; Savior, who hast slept our sleeping, Make our slumbers pure as thine; Blessed Spirit, brooding o'er us, Chase the darkness of our night, Till the perfect day before us Breaks in everlasting light. Amen. Topics: Daily Prayer Evening Used With Tune: VESPER HYMN

Day of Wonder, Day of Gladness

Author: B. H. Hall Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Day of wonder, day of gladness, Hail thy ever glorious light! Gone is sorrow, gone is sadness, Ended is the gloomy night! Listen to the angel’s story,-- Cast away all dark and dread; Give to God the Father glory! Christ is risen from the dead! 2 In the triumph of this hour, Jubilant shall swell the song; Unto Jesus, honor, power, Blessing, victory belong. Scattered are the clouds of error, Sin and hell are captive led; E’en the grave is free from terror, Christ is risen from the dead! 3 Every people, every nation, Soon shall hear the gladsome sound; Joyous tidings of salvation, Borne to earth’s remotest bound. Then shall rise, in tones excelling, Praise for grace so freely shed; And the Easter hymn be swelling, Christ is risen from the dead! Amen. Topics: Easter Used With Tune: AUTUMN

Fashion’s laws, indeed, may sever, but thy magic joins again; humankind is one forever ‘neath thy mild and gentle reign. 2 Joy, in nature’s wide dominion, mightiest cause of all is found; and ‘tis joy that moves the pinion, when the wheel of time goes round; from the bud she lures the flower, suns from out their orbs of light; distant spheres obey her power, far beyond all mortal sight. --- GERMAN - 1 Freude, schóner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, wir betreten feuertrunken, himmlische, dein Heiligtum. Deine Zauber binden wieder, was die Mode streng geteilt, alle Menschen werden Brúder, wo dein sanfter Flúgel weilt. 2 Freude heiefst die starke Feder in der ewigen Natur. Freude, Freude treibt die Ráder in der grossen Weltenuhr. Blumen lockt sie ausden Keimen, Sonnen aus dem Firmament, Spháren rollt sie in den Raumen, die des Sehers Rohr nicht kennt.
