The Day Is Past and Over
Author: Anon.; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8 Appears in 305 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The day is past and over,
all thanks, O Lord, to thee!
We pray thee that offenseless
the hours of dark may be.
O Jesus, keep us in thy sight,
and guard us through the coming night.
2. The joys of day are over;
we lift our hearts to thee,
and call on thee that sinless
the hours of dark may be.
O Jesus, make their darkness light,
and guard us through the coming night.
3. The toils of day are over;
we raise our hymn to thee,
and ask that free from peril
the hours of dark may be.
O Jesus, keep us in thy sight,
and guard us through the coming night.
4. Be thou our souls' preserver,
O God, for thou dost know
how many are the perils
through which we have to go.
Lord Jesus Christ, O hear our call,
and guard and save us from them all.

The Day Is Past and Over
Lord Jesu, blessed Prince of Peace
Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: I. Lord JESU, blessed Prince of Peace,
True God, and very man,
By thee our Troubles rise and cease,
Whose Life is but a Span.
The Saving Name is what we claim
Before thy heav'nly Father.
II. We are best with great Distress
Of War and Pestilence,
What can restore our Happiness
But, Lord, thy Providence?
Be pleas'd to plead for us in Need;
Avert th' impending Judgment.
III. Thy Name declares thy great Design,
Restorer of our Peace!
Thy Love, so pow'rful and divine,
Gives all the wretched Ease.
Withdraw not, Lord, thy holy word
From this our Generation.
IV. The Danger's great, and Safety rare,
Where Pestilence doth run;
But who is able to declare
The Mischiefs War brings on?
When we're debarr'd the due Regard
Of Laws Divine and Moral.
V. War tears the Root of Honesty,
And Mercy leaves behind,
And gives new Life to Blasphemy,
And Vice of ev'ry Kind.
O Lord our God, remove this Rod
From thy distressed People.
VI. We own, our Guilt deserves yet more
From thy most righteous Hands;
But thy blest Grace exceeds in Pow'r
The Sins of ev'ry Land.
O Lord, forgive; let Sinners live,
That we may praise thy Goodness.
VII. Enlighten with forgiving Grace
The Darkness of our Heart,
That we may hate the Scoffer's Ways,
Nor take the Atheist's Part.
CHRIST, Thee we own; Thou art alone
Our Strength and our Redeemer. Topics: Common Calamity Used With Tune: [Lord Jesu blessed Prince of Peace]

When I can trust my all with God
Author: Josiah Conder Appears in 91 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I can trust my all with God,
In trial's fearful hour,
Bow, all resigned, beneath His rod,
And bless His sparing power,
A joy springs up amid distress,
A fountain in the wilderness.
2 O, to be brought to Jesus' feet,
Though sorrows fix me there,
Is still a privilege; and sweet
The energies of prayer,
Though sighs and tears its language be,
If Christ be nigh, and smile on me.
3 Then blesséd be the Hand that gave,
Still blesséd when it takes:
Blesséd be He who smites to save,
Who heals the heart He breaks:
Perfect and true are all His ways,
Whom heaven adores and death obeys. Topics: The Cross and Comfort; The Cross and Comfort In Outward Suffering; Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: DU FRIEDEFÜRST, HERR JESU CHRIST
When I can trust my all with God
Father, Who Hast Created All
Author: Albert Knapp, 1798-1864 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, who hast created all
In wisest love, we pray,
Look on this babe, who at Thy call
Is entering on life's way.
Bend o'er it now with blessing fraught,
And make thou something out of naught.
2 O Son, who diedst for us, behold
We bring our child to Thee!
Great Shepherd, take it to Thy fold,
Thine own for aye to be:
Defend it through this earthly strife,
And lead it in the path of life.
3 Spirit, who broodest o'er the wave,
Descend upon this child;
Give endless life, its spirit lave
With waters undefiled:
Grant it, while yet a babe, to be
A child of God, a home for Thee!
4 O God, what Thou command'st is done;
We speak, but Thine the might;
This child, which scarce hath seen the sun,
Oh, pour on it Thy light.
In faith and hope, in joy and love,
Thou Sun of all below, above!
