Away in a manger, no crib for a bed

Author: Rev. Martin Luther Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 553 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. 2 The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there. Amen.

The shadows of the evening hours

Procter Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 236 hymnals 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.

Sunset and evening star

Author: Alfred Tennyson Meter: Irregular Appears in 172 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea, 2 But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. 3 Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark; 4 For, though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting ; Eternal Life; Funeral Services; Heaven; Immortal Life Used With Tune: CROSSING THE BAR
