Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled

Meter: Irregular Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled Now Thy little lamb's brief weeping: Ah, how peaceful, pale, and mild, In its narrow bed 't is sleeping, And no sign of anguish sore Heaves that little bosom more. 2 In this world of care and pain, Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it; To the sunny, heavenly plain Thou dost now with joy receive it; Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light. 3 Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we Where it lives may soon be living, And the lovely pastures see That its heavenly food are giving; Then the gain of death we prove, Tho' Thou take what most we love.

The day is past and over

Author: John M. Neale Meter: Irregular Appears in 304 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day is past and over: All thanks, O Lord, to Thee! I pray Thee, that offenceless The hours of dark may be. O Jesu, 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 sin may be. O Jesu, 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 Jesu, keep me in Thy sight, And guard me through the coming night. 4 Lighten mine eyes, O Saviour, Or sleep in death shall I, And he, my wakeful tempter, Triumphantly shall cry, “Against him I have now prevailed: Rejoice! the child of God has failed."” 5 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!

The sun is sinking fast

Meter: Irregular Appears in 158 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sun is sinking fast, The daylight dies; Let love awake, and pay Her evening sacrifice. 2 As Christ upon the Cross His head inclined, And to His Father's hands His parting soul resign'd; 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, May I be ever His, And He for ever mine.
