How Calmly the Evening
Author: Thomas T. Lynch, 1818-71 Hymnal: CCHS1916 #248 (1918) First Line: How calmly the evening once more is descending Lyrics: 1 How calmly the evening once more is descending,
As kind as a promise, as still as a pray'r;
O wing of the Lord, in Thy shelter befriending,
May we and our households continue to share.
2 The sky, like the kingdom of heaven, is open;
O enter, my soul, at the glorious gates;
The silence and smile of His love are the token,
Who now for all comers invitingly waits.
3 We come to be soothed with His merciful healing,
The dews of the night cure the wounds of the day;
We come, our life's worth and its brevity feeling,
With thanks for the past, for the future we pray.
4 Lord, save us from folly; be with us in sorrow;
Sustain us in work till the time of our rest;
When earth's day is over, may heaven's tomorrow
Dawn on us, of homes long expected possessed. Topics: Closing and Evening Hymns Evening Languages: English Tune Title: WHITCHURCH
How Calmly the Evening
Father Almighty, Darkness now is Deep'ning
Author: Sven O. Sigmond Hymnal: CCHS1916 #249 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Father Almighty, darkness now is deep'ning,
And we commend us to Thy gracious keeping;
Oh, may Thine angels guards us in our sleeping,
Protect us through this night!
2 Blessed Lord Jesus, Thou whose side is riven,
Thou by whose wounds our sins are all forgiven:
Draw us to Thee, to Thy dear Self in heaven,
From ev'ry sin release!
3 O Holy Spirit, Christ the Son explaining,
Who with the Father and the Son art reigning,
And for us all eternal life art gaining:
Direct us by Thy light!
4 Father and Son and Holy Spirit, blending
All three in One in ages without ending:
Oh, let Thy blessing on us be descending,
Grant us Thy perfect peace! Topics: Closing and Evening Hymns Evening Languages: English Tune Title: INTEGER VITÆ
Father Almighty, Darkness now is Deep'ning
Now the Day is Over
Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: CCHS1916 #250 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh;
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
2 Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With Thy tend'rest blessing
May our eyelids close.
3 Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.
4 Comfort ev'ry suff'rer
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sins restrain.
5 Through the long night-watches,
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching 'round my bed.
6 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes. Topics: Closing and Evening Hymns Evening Languages: English Tune Title: MERRIAL
Now the Day is Over
Alone With Thee
Author: M. A. Urseth Hymnal: CCHS1916 #251 (1918) First Line: Alone with Thee, O Lord, when day is dead Lyrics: 1 Alone with Thee, O Lord, when day is dead
And all its faded splendors on have fled,
I fondly dwell, and listen at Thy knee
The words, the wond'rous words that come from Thee.
2 Alone with Thee, dear Lamb of Calvary,
Who shed Thy blood, and died, and lives for me,
I long to stay to see Thy wounded side,
And know that all my sorrows it can hide.
3 Alone with Thee I only pray to be
When light and way I can no longer see,
That I may safely reach across the line,
And hold in mine no other hand but Thine. Topics: Closing and Evening Hymns Evening Languages: English Tune Title: DET SPREDES MER
Alone With Thee
Day is Dying in the West
Author: Mary A. Lathbury, b. 1841 Hymnal: CCHS1916 #252 (1918) Refrain First Line: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts! Lyrics: 1 Day is dying in the west;
Heav'n is touching earth with rest;
Wait and worship while the night
Sets her evening lamps alight
Thro' all the sky.
Chorus:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heav'n and earth are full of Thee!
Heav'n and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord most high!
2 Lord of life, beneath the dome
Of the universe, Thy home,
Gather us who seek Thy face
To the fold of Thy embrace,
For Thou art nigh. [Chorus]
3 While the deep'ning shadows fall,
Heart of Love, enfolding all,
Thro' the glory and the grace
Of the stars that veil Thy face
Our hearts ascend. [Chorus]
4 When forever from our sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels, on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise,
And shadows end. [Chorus] Topics: Closing and Evening Hymns Evening Languages: English Tune Title: CHAUTAUQUA
Day is Dying in the West
Abide With Me
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: CCHS1916 #253 (1918) First Line: Abide with me; fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide:
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need Thy presence ev'ry passing hour,
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
5 Hold Thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Topics: Closing and Evening Hymns Evening Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
