O Come to the Merciful Savior
Author: Frederick W. Faber, ca. 1850 Hymnal: Concordia #105 (1918) First Line: O come to the merciful Savior who calls you Lyrics: 1 O come to the merciful Savior who calls you,
O come to the Lord who forgives and forgets;
Though dark be the fortune on earth that befalls you,
There's a bright home above where the sun never sets.
2 O come then to Jesus, whose arms are extended
To fold His dear children in closest embrace;
O come, for your exile will shortly be ended,
And Jesus will show you His beautiful face.
3 Yes, come to the Savior, whose mercy grows brighter
The longer you look at the depths of His love;
And fear not! ’tis Jesus, and life’s cares grow lighter
As you think of the home and the glory above.
4 Come, come to His feet, and lay open your story
Of suff'ring and sorrow, of guilt and of shame;
For the pardon of sin is the crown of His glory,
And the joy of our Lord to be true to His name.

O Come to the Merciful Savior
How Calmly the Evening
Author: Thomas T. Lynch, 1818-71 Hymnal: Concordia #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
