The Restless Day Now Closeth

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Claus August Wendell Hymnal: HOoS1926 #560 (1926) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 The restless day now closeth, Each flow'r and tree reposeth, Shade creeps o'er wild and wood: Let us, as night is falling, On God our Maker calling, Give thanks to Him, the Giver good. 2 Now all the heav'nly splendor Breaks forth in starlight tender From myriad worlds unknown; And man, the marvel seeing, Forgets his selfish being, For joy of beauty not his own. 3 While all in peace reposeth, And starry night discloseth The glory of the Lord, My prayers and yearnings wander To realms of glory yonder, Where saints of God have their reward. 4 When life's brief day is over, And twilight shadows cover The last end of my way, Dear Lord and blessed Saviour, Forgive my heart's behavior, And grant me Thou a brighter day. Amen. Topics: Occasional Evening; Evening; Heaven Yearning for Languages: English Tune Title: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN

The Radiant Morn Hath Passed Away

Author: Godfrey Thring Hymnal: HOoS1926 #561 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 The radiant morn hath passed away, And spent too soon her golden store; The shadows of departing day Creep on once more. 2 Our life is but an autumn sun, Its glorious noon how quickly past; Lead us, O Christ, our life-work done, Safe home at last. 3 O by Thy soul-inspiring grace Uplift our hearts to realms on high; Help us to look to that bright place Beyond the sky, 4 Where light, and life, and joy, and peace, In undivided empire reign, And thronging angels never cease Their deathless strain; 5 Where saints are clothed in spotless white, And evening shadows never fall, Where Thou, eternal Light of Light, Art Lord of all.

Amen. Topics: Occasional Evening; Evening Languages: English Tune Title: HURSLEY
