The day is past and gone

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #41 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone, The evening shades appear; O may I ever keep in mind The night of death draws near. 2 Lord, keep me safe this night, Secure from all my fears; May angels guard me while I sleep, Till morning light appears. 3 And when I early rise, And view th' unwearied sun, May I set out to win the prize, And after glory run: 4 That when my days are past, And I from time remove, Lord, I may in Thy bosom rest, The bosom of Thy love.

Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #42 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear, It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest Forever on my Savior's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without Thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die. 4 If some poor wandering child of Thine Has spurned to-day the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep to-night, Like infant's slumbers, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take; And lead us by Thy hand of love, Until we reach our home above.

Saints on earth, and saints in heaven; Every creature bow before Thee, Who hast all their being given; Who dost seek and save the lost; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Sinners, turn; why will ye die

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #48 (1918) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Sinners, turn; why will ye die? God, your Maker, asks you -- Why? God, who did your being give, Made you with Himself to live. 2 He the fatal cause demands. Asks the work of His own hands, Why, ye thankless creatures, why Will ye cross His love and die? 3 Sinners, turn; why will ye die? God, your Savior, asks you -- Why? He, who did your souls retrieve, Died Himself that you might live. 4 Will ye let Him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, ye ransomed sinners, why Will ye slight His grace, and die? 5 Sinners, turn; why will ye die? God, the Spirit asks you -- Why? He Who all your life-time strove, Wooed you to embrace His love. 6 Will ye not His grace receive? Will ye still refuse to live? O ye long-sought sinners, why Will ye grieve your God and die?

Come unto Me, ye weary

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #49 (1918) Meter: 7.6.8.1 Lyrics: 1 "Come unto Me, ye weary, And I will give you rest." O blessed voice of Jesus, Which comes to hearts opprest! It tells of benediction, Of pardon, grace, and peace, Of joy that hath no ending, Of love that cannot cease. 2 "Come unto Me, dear children, And I will give you light." 0 loving voice of Jesus, Which comes to cheer the night. Our hearts were filled with sadness, And we had lost our way; But He has brought us gladness And songs at break of day. 3 "Come unto Me, ye weary, And I will give you life." 0 cheering voice of Jesus, Which comes to aid our strife, The foe is stern and eager, The fight is fierce and long; But Thou hast made us mighty And stronger than the strong. 4 "And whosoever cometh I will not cast him out." O welcome voice of Jesus, Which drives away our doubt, Which calls us, very sinners, Unworthy though we be Of love so free and boundless, To come, dear Lord, to Thee.

Today Thy mercy calls us

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #50 (1918) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 Today Thy mercy calls us To wash away our sin, However great our trespass, Whatever we have been; However long from mercy Our hearts have turn'd away, Thy precious blood can cleanse us, And make us white today. 2 Today Thy gate is open, And all who enter in Shall find a Father's welcome, And pardon for their sin. The past shall be forgotten, A present joy be given, A future grace be promised, A glorious crown in heaven. 3 Today our Father calls us, His Holy Spirit waits; His blessed angels gather Around the heavenly gates. No question will be asked us How often we have come; Although we oft have wandered, It is our Father's home. 4 O all-embracing mercy! O ever-open door! What should we do without Thee When heart and eye run o'er? When all things seem against us, To drive us to despair, We know one gate is open, One ear will hear our prayer.
