New every morning is the love

Author: Rev. John Keble Appears in 362 hymnals Lyrics: 1. New every morning is the love Our wakening and uprising prove; Through sleep and darkness safely brought, Restored to life, and power, and thought. 2. New mercies, each returning day, Hover around us while we pray; New perils past, new sins forgiven, New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 3. If, on our daily course our mind Be set to hallow all we find, New treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice. 4. The trivial round, the common task, Will furnish all we ought to ask; Room to deny ourselves, a road To bring us daily nearer God. Only, O Lord, in thy dear love, Fit us for perfect rest above; And help us, this and every day, To live more nearly as we pray. Amen.

Now the day is over

Author: Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould Appears in 956 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over, Night is drawing nigh, Shadows of the evening Steal across the sky. 2 Now the darkness gathers, Stars begin to peep; Birds, and beasts, and flowers Soon will be asleep. 3 Jesus, give the weary Calm and sweet repose; With Thy tenderest blessing May our eyelids close. 4 Grant to little children Visions bright of Thee; Guard the sailors, tossing On the deep blue sea. 5 Comfort every sufferer Watching late in pain; Those who plan some evil From their sins restrain. 6 Through the long night-watches, May Thine angels spread Their white wings above me, Watching round my bed. 7 When the morning wakens, Then may I arise Pure, and fresh, and sinless In Thy holy eyes. 8 Glory to the Father, Glory to the Son, And to Thee, blest Spirit, Whilst all ages run. Amen.

Now, when the dusky shades of night retreating

Author: Anon. Appears in 96 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Now, when the dusky shades of night, retreating Before the sun's red banner, swiftly flee; Now, when the terrors of the dark are fleeting, O Lord, we lift our thankful hearts to thee. 2. To Thee, whose word, the fount of light unsealing, When hill and dale in thickest darkness lay, Awoke bright rays across the dim earth stealing, And bade the even and morn complete the day. 3. Look from the tower of heaven, and send to cheer us Thy light and truth, to guide us onward still; Still let thy mercy, as of old, be near us, And lead us safely to Thy holy hill. 4. In vain to labor, unless Thou be with him, Man goeth forth through all the weary day; In vain his strife, in vain his toil unceasing, Unless Thy staff bring comfort on his way. 5. Thou, who hast made the north and south, watch o'er us; Thou, in whose Name, the lonely ones rejoice, Still let Thy cloudy pillar glide before us, Still let us listen for Thy warning voice. 6. So, when that morn of endless light is waking, And shades of evil from its splendors flee, Safe may we rice, the earth's dark breast forsaking, Through all the long bright day to dwell with Thee. Amen. Text Sources: Hedge and Hunthington's Hymns etc., 1853

Amen.
