The radiant morn hath passed away

Author: Rev. Godfrey Thring Hymnal: HAGA1895 #11 (1895) Lyrics: 1. The radiant morn hath passed away, And spent to soon her golden store; The shadows of departing day Creep on once more. 2. Our life is but a fading dawn; Its glorious noon how quickly past: Lead us, O Christ, when all is gone, Safe home at last. 3. O by Thy soul-inspiring grace Uplift our hearts to realms on high; Help us to look at 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.

The sun is sinking fast

Author: Edward Caswall Hymnal: HAGA1895 #12 (1895) Lyrics: 1. The sun is sinking fast, The daylight dies; Let love awake, and pay Her evening sacrifice. 2. As Christ, upon the cross In death reclined. Into His Father's hands His parting soul resigned; 3. So now herself my soul Would wholly give Into His sacred charge, In whom all spirits live; 4. So now beneath His eye Would calmly rest, Without a wish or thought Abiding in the breast, 5. Save that His will be done, Whate'er betide; Dead to herself, and dead In Him to all beside. 6. Thus would I live; yet now Not I, but He, In all His power and love, Henceforth alive in me, 7. One sacred Trinity, One Lord Divine, Myself for ever His, And He for ever mine. Amen.

As now the sun's declining rays

Author: Rev. John Chandler; Charles Coffin Hymnal: HAGA1895 #13 (1895) Lyrics: 1. As now the sun's declining rays Towards the eve descend, E'en so our years are sinking down To their appointed end. 2. Lord, on the cross Thine arms were stretched To draw us to the sky; O grant us then that cross to love, And in those arms to die. 3. To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Holy Ghost, All glory be from saints on earth, And from the angel host. Amen.

Now God be with us, for the night is closing

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Rev. Petruss Herbert Hymnal: HAGA1895 #14 (1895)

Through the day thy love has spared us

Author: Rev. Thomas Kelly Hymnal: HAGA1895 #15 (1895) Lyrics: 1. Through the day Thy love has spared us, Now we lay us down to rest; Through the silent watches guard us; Let no foe our peace molest: Jesus, Thou our Guardian be; Sweet it is to trust in Thee. 2. Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers, Dwelling in the midst of foes, Us and ours preserve from dangers; In Thine arms may we repose; And, when life's brief day is past, Rest with Thee in heaven at last. 3. Triune God, let all adore Thee, 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. Amen.

Sun of my soul, thou Savior dear

Author: Rev. John Keble Hymnal: HAGA1895 #16 (1895) Lyrics: 1. Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear, It is not night if Thou be near; Oh, may no earthborn 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 Saviorr’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 infants’ slumbers, pure and light. 6. Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in Heaven above. Amen.

All praise to Thee, my God, this night

Author: Bishop Thomas Ken Hymnal: HAGA1895 #17 (1895) Lyrics: 1. All praise to Thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light; Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Beneath Thy own almighty wings. 2. Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done; That with the world, myself, and Thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 3. Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed; To die, that this vile body may Rise glorious at the awful day. 4. O may my soul on thee repose, And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close; Sleep that may me more vigorous make To serve my God when I awake. 5. When in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heavenly thoughts supply; Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, No powers of darkness me molest. 6. O when shall I, in endless day, For ever chase dark sleep away, And hymns with the supernal choir, Incessant sing, and never tire! Amen.

O light of life, O Savior dear

Author: Francis T. Palgrave Hymnal: HAGA1895 #18 (1895) Lyrics: 1. O light of life, O Saviour dear, Before we sleep bow down Thine ear: Through dark and day, o'er land and sea, We have no other hope but Thee. 2. Oft from Thy royal road we part, Lost in the mazes of the heart: Our lamps put out, our course forgot, We seek for God, and find Him not. 3. What sudden sunbeams cheer our sight! What dawning risen upon the night! Thou giv'st Thyself to us, and we Find guide and path and all in Thee. 4. Through day and darkness, Saviour dear, Abide with us, more nearly near; Till on Thy face we lift our eyes, The Sun of God's own Paradise. 5. Praise God, our Maker and our Friend; Praise Him through time, till time shall end; Till psalm and song His Name adore Through heaven's great day of evermore. Amen.

The day is past and over

Author: Rev. John M. Neale Hymnal: HAGA1895 #19 (1895)

The day is gently sinking to a close

Author: Bishop Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: HAGA1895 #20 (1895) Lyrics: 1. The day is gently sinking to a close, Fainter and yet more faint the sunlight glows: O Brightness of Thy Father's glory, Thou Eternal Light of Light, be with us now: Where Thou art present darkness cannot be; Midnight is glorious noon, O Lord, with Thee. 2. Our changeful lives are ebbing to an end; Onward to darkness and to death we tend: O Conqueror of the grave, be Thou our Guide, Be Thou our Light in death's dark eventide; Then in our mortal hour will be no gloom, No sting in death, no terror in the tomb. 3. Thou, who in darkness walking didst appear Upon the waves, and Thy disciples cheer, Come, Lord, in lonesome days, when storms assail, And earthly hopes and human succours fail; When all is dark, may we behold Thee nigh, And hear Thy voice, "Fear not, for it is I." 4. The weary world is mouldering to decay. Its glories wane, its pageants fade away: In that last sunset when the stars shall fall, May we arise, awakened by thy call, With Thee, O Lord, for ever to abide In that blest day which has no eventide. Amen.
