The day, O Lord, is spent

Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: LHTC1918 #473 (1917) Lyrics: 1 The day, O Lord, is spent; Abide with us, and rest; Our hearts' desires are fully bent On making Thee our guest. 2 We have not reached that land, That happy land, as yet, Where holy angels round Thee stand, Whose Sun can never set. 3 Our sun is sinking now; Our day is almost o'er; O Sun of Righteousness, do Thou Shine on us evermore. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Languages: English Tune Title: GORTON

The sun is sinking fast

Author: Unknown; Edward Caswall Hymnal: LHTC1918 #474 (1917) 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 resigned; 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. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Languages: English Tune Title: ST. COLUMBIA

Holy Father, cheer our way

Author: Richard Hayes Robinson Hymnal: LHTC1918 #475 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Holy Father, cheer our way With Thy love’s perpetual ray; Grant us every closing day Light at evening time. 2 Holy Saviour, calm our fears When earth’s brightness disappears; Grant us in our latter years Light at evening time. 3 Holy Spirit, be Thou nigh When in mortal pains we lie; Grant us, as we come to die, Light at evening time. 4 Holy, Blessèd Trinity, Darkness is not dark to Thee; Those Thou keepest always see Light at evening time. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Languages: English Tune Title: VESPER

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: LHTC1918 #476 (1917) 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 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free. Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me. 4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings, Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 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. 7 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. 8 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. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

Sunk is the sun's last beam of light

Author: Nicolaus Hermann; Frances Elizabeth Cox Hymnal: LHTC1918 #477 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Sunk is the sun's last beam of light, And now the world is wrapt in night. Christ, light us with Thy heavenly ray, Nor let our feet in darkness stray. 2 Thanks, Lord, that Thou throughout the day Hast kept all grief and harm away; That angels tarried round about Our coming in and going out. 3 Whate'er of wrong we've done or said, Let not the charge on us be laid; That through Thy free forgiveness blest, In peaceful slumber we may rest. 4 Thy guardian angels round us place, All evil from our couch to chase; Our soul and body, while we sleep, In safety, gracious Father, keep. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Languages: English Tune Title: INTERCESSION

Through the day Thy love hath spared us

Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: LHTC1918 #478 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Through the day Thy love hath spared us; Now we lay us down to rest: Through the silent watches guard us, Let no foe our peace molest; Jesus, Thou our Guardian be; Sweet it is to trust in Thee. 2 Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers, Dwelling in the midst of foes, Us and ours preserve from dangers; In Thine arms may we repose, And when life's short day is past, Rest with Thee in heaven at last. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Languages: English Tune Title: LEWARS

O God, the Rock of Ages

Author: Edward Henry Bickersteth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #479 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O God, the Rock of Ages, Who evermore hast been, What time the tempest rages, Our dwelling-place serene: Before Thy first creations, O Lord, the same as now, To endless generations The Everlasting Thou! 2 Our years are like the shadows On sunny hills that lie, Or grasses in the meadows That blossom but to die; A sleep, a dream, a story By strangers quickly told, An unremaining glory Of things that soon are old. 3 O Thou, Who canst not slumber, Whose light grows never pale, Teach us aright to number Our years before they fail; On us Thy mercy lighten, On us Thy goodness rest, And let Thy Spirit brighten The hearts Thyself hast blessed. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons New Year Languages: English Tune Title: MIRIAM

A few more years shall roll

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: LHTC1918 #480 (1917) Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest Asleep within the tomb. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. 2 A few more suns shall set O'er these dark hills of time; And we shall be where suns are not,-- A far serener clime. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that blest day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood And take my sins away. 3 A few more storms shall beat On this wild rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that calm day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. 4 A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that bright day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. 5 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, Who lives That we with Him may reign. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons New Year Languages: English Tune Title: CHALVEY

For Thy mercy and Thy grace

Author: Henry Downton Hymnal: LHTC1918 #481 (1917) Lyrics: 1 For Thy mercy and Thy grace, Constant through another year, Hear our song of thankfulness, Jesus, our Redeemer, hear. 2 In our weakness and distress, Rock of strength, be Thou our stay; In the pathless wilderness, Be our true and living way. 3 Who of us death's awful road In the coming year shall tread,-- With Thy rod and staff, O God, Comfort Thou his dying head. 4 Keep us faithful; keep us pure; Keep us evermore Thine own; Help, O help us to endure; Fit us for the promised crown. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons New Year Languages: English Tune Title: CULBACH

Great God! we sing that mighty Hand

Author: Philip Doddridge, d. 1751 Hymnal: LHTC1918 #482 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Great God! we sing that mighty Hand By which, supported still, we stand: The opening year Thy mercy shows; Let mercy crown it to its close. 2 By day, by night, at home, abroad, Still we are guarded by our God; By His incessant bounty fed, By His unerring counsel led. 3 With grateful hearts the past we own; The future, all to us unknown, We to Thy guardian care commit, And, peaceful, leave before Thy feet. 4 In scenes exalted or depressed, Be Thou our joy, and Thou our rest; Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise, Adored through all our changing days. 5 When death shall interrupt these songs, And seal in silence mortal tongues, Our Helper, God, in Whom we trust, In better worlds our souls shall boast. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons New Year Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GREGORY
