At even, when the sun was set

Author: Rev. Henry Twells Hymnal: HPAG1933 #43 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 At even, when the sun was set, The sick, O Lord, around Thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we, Oppressed with various ills, draw near: What if Thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that Thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel: For some are sick, and some are sad, And some have never loved Thee well, And some have lost the love they had. 4 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, For none are wholly free from sin; And they who fain would serve Thee best Are conscious most of wrong within. 5 O Saviour Christ, Thou too art man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide. 6 Thy touch has still its ancient power; No word from Thee can fruitless fall: Hear in this solemn evening hour, And in Thy mercy heal us all. Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Christ Presence, His Living; Christ Ministry; Christ Life and Ministry; Evening hymns; Worship Evening Tune Title: ANGELUS

The day is past and over

Author: Rev. John M. Neale Hymnal: HPAG1933 #44 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The day is past and over: All thanks, O Lord, to Thee; I pray Thee that offenseless The hours of dark may be. O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight, And save me through the coming night. 2 The joys of day are over: I lift my heart to Thee, And call on Thee that sinless The hours of night may be. O Jesus, make their darkness light, And save me through the coming night. 3 The toils of day are over: I raise the hymn to Thee, And ask that free from peril The hours of fear may be. O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight, And guard me through the coming night. 4 Be Thou my soul's Preserver, O God, for Thou dost know How many are the perils Through which I have to go. Lover of men, O hear my call, And guard and save me from them all. Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Evening hymns; Worship Evening Tune Title: ST. ANATOLIUS (BROWN)

The day Thou gavest, Lord is ended

Author: Rev. John Ellerton Hymnal: HPAG1933 #45 (1950) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended, The darkness falls at Thy behest; To Thee our morning hymns ascended, Thy praise shall hallow now our rest. 2 We thank Thee that Thy Church unsleeping, While earth rolls onward into light, Through all the world her watch is keeping, And rests not now by day or night. 3 As o'er each continent and island The dawn leads on another day, The voice of prayer is never silent, Nor dies the strain of praise away. 4 The sun that bids us rest is waking Our brethren 'neath the western sky, And hour by hour fresh lips are making Thy wondrous doings heard on high. 5 So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never, Like earth's proud empires, pass away; Thy Kingdom stands, and grows forever Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway. Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Evening hymns; Worship Evening Tune Title: ST. CLEMENT

O Light of life, O Saviour dear

Author: Francis T. Palgrave Hymnal: HPAG1933 #46 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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. Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Christ Abiding with Believers; Christ Light, Our; Christ Presence, His Living; Christ Guide, Our; Evening hymns; Worship Evening Tune Title: ABENDS

Saviour, breathe an evening blessing

Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: HPAG1933 #47 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Saviour, breathe an evening blessing, Ere repose our spirits seal; Sin and want we come confessing: Thou canst save, and Thou canst heal. 2 Though destruction walk around us, Though the arrow past us fly, Angel guards from Thee surround us: We are safe if Thou art nigh. 3 Though the night be dark and dreary, Darkness cannot hide from Thee; Thou art He who, never weary, Watchest where Thy people be. 4 Should swift death this night o'ertake us, And our couch become our tomb, May the morn in heaven awake us, Clad in light and deathless bloom. Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Evening hymns; Worship Evening Tune Title: EVENING PRAYER

Father, again in Jesus' name we meet

Author: Lucy E. G. Whitmore Hymnal: HPAG1933 #48 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Father, again in Jesus' Name we meet, And bow in penitence beneath Thy feet: Again to Thee our feeble voices raise, To sue for mercy, and to sing Thy praise. 2 O we would bless Thee for Thy ceaseless care, And all Thy works from day to day declare: Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned? Does not Thine arm encircle us around? 3 Alas, unworthy of Thy boundless love, Too oft with careless feet from Thee we rove; But now, encouraged by Thy voice, we come, Returning sinners to a Father's home. 4 O by that Name in whom all fullness dwells, O by that love which every love excels, O by that blood so freely shed for sin, Open blest mercy's gate, and take us in!

The depths of earth are in His hand, The heights of hills are His. 4 To Him the spacious sea belongs, For He the same did make; The dry land also from His hands Its form at first did take. 5 O come, and let us worship Him; Let us bow down withal, And on our knees before the Lord, Our Maker, let us fall.

Lord of the worlds above

They praise Thee still; and happy they That love the way to Zion's hill. 3 They go from strength to strength, Through this dark vale of tears, Till each arrives at length, Till each in heaven appears: O glorious seat, when God, our King, Shall thither bring our willing feet! 4 God is our Sun and Shield, Our Light and our Defense; With gifts His hands are filled: We draw our blessings thence. Thrice happy he, O God of Hosts, Whose spirit trusts alone in Thee! Amen.
