Abide with me: fast falls the eventide
Author: Rev. Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: HPAG1933 #33 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide:
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless:
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies:
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee:
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Abide with me: fast falls the eventide
Softly now the light of day
Author: Bishop George W. Doane Hymnal: HPAG1933 #34 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day
Fades upon my sight away;
Free from care, from labor free,
Lord, I would commune with Thee.
2 Thou, whose all pervading eye
Naught escapes, without, within,
Pardon each infirmity,
Open fault, and secret sin.
3 Soon for me the light of day
Shall forever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee.
4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man's infirmity;
Then, from Thine eternal throne,
Jesus, look with pitying eye.
Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Evening hymns; Love and Communion; Prayer and Intercession; Worship Evening Tune Title: SEYMOUR
Softly now the light of day
Now the day is over
Author: Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: HPAG1933 #35 (1950) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
2 Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With Thy tenderest blessing
May mine eyelids close.
3 Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.
4 Through the long night watches,
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
5 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Evening hymns; Worship Evening Tune Title: MERRIAL
Now the day is over
The shadows of the evening hours
Author: Adelaide A. Procter Hymnal: HPAG1933 #36 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The shadows of the evening hours
Fall from the darkening sky;
Upon the fragrance of the flowers
The dews of evening lie:
Before Thy throne, O Lord of heaven,
We kneel at close of day;
Look on Thy children from on high,
And hear us while we pray.
2 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord,
O do not Thou despise,
But let the incense of our prayers
Before Thy mercy rise.
The brightness of the coming night
Upon the darkness rolls;
With hopes of future glory chase
The shadows on our souls.
3 Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God,
Upon our souls descend;
From midnight fears and perils, Thou
Our trembling hearts defend:
Give us a respite from our toil,
Calm and subdue our woes;
Through the long day we labor, Lord,
O give us now repose.
Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Comfort; Evening hymns; Peace, Spiritual; Worship Evening Tune Title: ST. LEONARD (HILES)
The shadows of the evening hours
Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear
Author: Rev. John Keble Hymnal: HPAG1933 #37 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour 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 Saviour'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 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor
With blessings from Thy boundless store;
Be every mourner's sleep tonight,
Like infants' slumbers, pure and light.
5 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.

Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear
The radiant morn hath passed away
Author: Rev. Godfrey Thring Hymnal: HPAG1933 #38 (1950) 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 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 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: Times of Worship Evening; Evening hymns; Worship Evening Tune Title: THE RADIANT MORN

Wait and worship while the night
Sets her evening lamps alight
Through all the sky.

Holy, holy, holy Lord God of Hosts;
Heaven and earth are full of Thee!
Heaven and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord Most High!
2 Lord of life, beneath the dome
Of the universe, Thy home,
Gather us who seek Thy face
To the fold of Thy embrace,
For Thou art nigh. [Refrain]
3 While the deepening shadows fall,
Heart of Love, enfolding all,
Through the glory and the grace
Of the stars that veil Thy face,
Our hearts ascend. [Refrain]

Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels, on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise,
And shadows end. [Refrain]

The sun declines; o'er land and sea
Author: Robert Walmsley Hymnal: HPAG1933 #40 (1950) Meter: 8.4.8.4 D Lyrics: 1 The sun declines; o’er land and sea
Creeps on the night;
The twinkling stars come one by one
To shed their light;
With Thee there is no darkness, Lord;
With us abide,
And ’neath Thy wings we rest secure
This eventide.
2 Forgive the wrong this day we’ve done,
Or thought, or said;
Each moment with its good or ill
To Thee has fled;
O Father, in Thy mercy great
Will we confide;
Thy benediction now bestow
This eventide.

The sun declines; o'er land and sea
God, that madest earth and heaven
Author: Bishop Reginald Heber (1783-1826); Rev. William Mercer; Rev. Richard Whately (1787-1863) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #41 (1950) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 God, that madest earth and heaven,
Darkness and light;
Who the day for toil hast given,
For rest the night;
May Thine angel guards defend us,
Slumber sweet Thy mercy send us;
Holy dreams and hopes attend us,
This livelong night.
2 And when morn again shall call us
To run life's way,
May we still, whate'er befall us,
Thy will obey.
From the power of evil hide us,
In the narrow pathway guide us,
Nor Thy smile be e'er denied us
The livelong day.
3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
And when we die,
May we in Thy mighty keeping
All peaceful lie;
When the last dread call shall wake us,
Do not Thou, our God, forsake us,
But to reign in glory take us
With Thee on high.

God, that madest earth and heaven
All praise to thee, my God, this night
Author: Bishop Thomas Ken (1637-1711) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #42 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 Thine 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;
Teach me to die, that so I 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 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Evening hymns; Worship Evening Tune Title: TALLIS' CANON
All praise to thee, my God, this night
