Our evening prayers attend

Encompass Zion round, Ye people, tell His fame; Let Resurrection joy abound, And glory to His name; He is our Lord, who from the grave Arose our sinning souls to save. With resurrection lays Ye people, come, adore, And worship Him with grateful praise Who lives for evermore; He is our God, who from the grave Arose our sinning souls to save. Lord, by Thy Passion Thou Sav’st men from passions base, And by Thy Resurrection, now Dost from corruption raise. Glory to Thee we humbly bring, O Christ, who art our Heavenly King.

O may my soul, uncrushed by care

Author: Synesius ; John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: O may my soul, uncrushed by care, Direct her gaze to where Thou art, And in Thy splendour find, O Christ, The strength of life Thou canst impart. And freed from sin’s depressing load, May I pursue the path divine, And rise above the cares of earth Until my life is merged in Thine. Unsullied life Thy servant grant Who tunes his harp to sound Thy praise, And still my life shall hymn Thy love, And glory to the Father raise. And when I rest in glory bright, The burden of my labour past, In hymns I’ll praise Thee more and more While the eternal ages last.

For clouds of gloom from nether world Obscured my upward way; O Christ the Light, Thy light bestow And turn my night to day!

Author: Synesius; John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: When darkness falls and night is here, My hymns of praise in silence rise— This knows the moon, whose silver sphere Shines in the star-bespangled skies. When morning breaks, and glorious day Shines in the dawn and noontide fair— This knows the sun—a grateful lay Springs from my heart in fervent prayer. When fails the light at sunset gray, And twilight listens for my song— This know the stars—in bright array My praises mingle with their throng.

Pour forth a bloodless offering Of hymns and holy lauds, And weave a garland rich and fair To crown the King of gods.
