The silent moon is risen

Hymnal: ELH1880 #322 (1880) Lyrics: 1 The silent moon is risen, The golden star-fires glisten In heaven serene and bright; The forest sleeps in shadow, And slowly off the meadow A mist si curling, silver-white. 2 The veil of night is closing Around a world reposing In calm and holy trust; It seems like one still chamber, Where weary hearts remember No more the sorrows of the dust. 3 Behold the full moon beaming! So round and fair 'tis gleaming, Yet half is hid from sight. So, oft on earth, deceive us Things that now seem so grievous, Because the half is veiled in night 4 We, poor, frail mortals, groping, Half fearing and half hoping, In darkness seek our way; Our airy cobwebs spinning With erring and with sinning, Far from the mark we stray. 5 Thy saving health, O grant us, Lord, that we ne'er may vaunt us In vain and fleeting show; But child-like and confiding, Follow Thy gentle guiding, And in Thy paths with gladness go. 6 When death comes to release us With kindly hand, and frees us Ere life's a weary load; Then, when earth's ties we sever, Take us to Thee forever, Thou kind, Thou true, Thou gracious God! 7 The night's cool breath is creeping; Brothers, in God's good keeping Your weary eyelids close. His grace from ill defend us, And peaceful slumber send us, And soothe our poor sick neighbor's woes! Topics: The Catechism; Daily Devotion Evening Languages: English

Now say good night! O Father be

Hymnal: ELH1880 #323 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now say good night! O Father be My refuge still; to Thee I flee. When darkness, death, and terrors rise, Thy grace shall still for me suffice. 2 All praise to Christ my Savior give, For He this day hath let me live My life away in His dear name: "To live is Christ, to die is gain." 3 O Holy Ghost, Thy grace impart, To rest in Christ my troubled heart. O sweet the rest Thy grace goth bring, And bids me to my Saviour cling. 4 Now say good night! May angels bright Kep watching o'er me through the night, And spread their guardian, heavenly wings, O'er these my wearied, slumb'ring limbs. 5 "And now I lay me down to sleep; I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray, Thee, Lord, my soul to take." 6 Now say good night! To all, good night! God keep you safe till morning's light, That with His praise you all may wake; "And this I ask for Jesus sake." Topics: The Catechism; Daily Devotion Evening Languages: English

All things hang on our possessing

Hymnal: ELH1880 #326 (1880) Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God's free love and grace and blessing, Though all earthly wealth depart; He who God for His hath taken, 'Mid the changing world unshaken, Keeps a free, heroic heart. 2 He who hitherto hath fed me And to many a joy hath led me, Is and ever shall be mine; He who did so gently school me, He who still doth guide and rule me, Will not leave me now to pine. 3 Shall I weary me with fretting O'er vain trifles and regretting Things that never can remain? I will strive but that to to win me Which can shed true rest within me, Rest the world must seek in vain. 4 When my heart with longing sickens, Hope again my courage quickens; For my wish shall be fulfilled, If is please His most will most tender: Life and soul I will surrender Unto Him on whom I build. 5 Well He knows how best to grant me All the longing hopes that haunt me; All things have their proper day. I to Him would dictate never, As God will, so be it ever, When He wills I will obey. 6 If on earth He bids me linger, He will guide me with His finger Through the years that now look dim; All that earth has fleets and changes, As a river onward ranges, But I rest in peace on Him.

Launch out into the deep

Hymnal: ELH1880 #329 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Launch out into the deep, And brave the foaming sea, Fold not thine arms to slothful sleep When duty calls to thee. 2 Let down thy net again, Still hopeful of success, Though long thy toil has seemed in vain, The Lord will richly bless. 3 Do not faint-hearted say, Thine is a dreary lot: Let life seem gloomy as it may, His goodness falters not. 4 In Jesus put thy trust, And thou canst never fail; His mighty Word supports the just, And that must e'er prevail. 5 Thrust out, then, from the land, Let down thy net again; The work performed at God's command Can never be in vain.

O God, Thou faithful God

Hymnal: ELH1880 #330 (1880) Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God, Thou Fountain ever-flowing, Without whom nothing is, All perfect gifts bestowing; A pure and healthy frame O give me, and within A conscience free from blame, A soul unhurt by sin. 2 And grant me, Lord, to do With ready heart and willing, Whate'er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling; To do it when I ought, With all my strength, and bless The work I thus have wrought, For Thou must give success. 3 And let me promise naught But I can keep it truly, Abstain from idle words, And guard my lips still duly; And grant, when in my place I must and ought to speak, My words due power and grace; Nor let me wound the weak. 4 If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless; Help me to bear the cross, When life is dark and cheerless; To overcome my foe With words and actions kind; When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find. 5 And let me be with all In peace and friendship living, As far as Christians may; And if Thou aught art giving Of wealth and honors fair, That nought be mingled there Of goods unjustly got. 6 And if a longer life Be here on earth decreed me, And Thou through many a strife To ripe old age wilt lead me, Thy patience in me shed. Avert all sin and shame, And crown my hoary head With pure untarnished fame. 7 Let nothing here earth Me from my Savior sever; And when I die, O take My soul to Thee forever; And let my body have A little space to sleep Beside my kindred' grave, And o'er it vigil keep. 8 And when the Day is come, And all the dead are waking, O reach me down Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking; Then let me hear Thy voice, And change this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name.

O God of Jacob, by whose hand

Hymnal: ELH1880 #331 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God of Jacob, by whose hand Thy people still are fed; Who, through this weary pilgrimage, Hast all our Fathers led! 2 To Thee our humble vows we raise, To Thee address our prayer; And in Thy kind and faithful breast Deposit all our care. 3 Through each perplexing path of life Our wand'ring footsteps guide, Give us by day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide. 4 O spread Thy cov'ring wings around, Till all our wand'rings cease, And at our Father's loved abode Our souls arrive in peace! 5 To Thee, as to our cov'nant God, We'll our whole selves resign; And thankful own that all we are, And all we have is Thine.
