When night her sable curtain spreads
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
I
When night her sable curtain spreads,
And darkness falls on sea and land,
In silent beauty, o’er our heads,
The stars shine grand.
II
The orb of day his race hath run,
But see what glory comes to view,
As, full of radiance, one by one,
The stars shine true.
III
Now bright their silver light appears,
And reverent eyes behold the sight;
Hope lights the darkness of our fears—
The stars shine bright.
IV
When on our life the curtain falls,
And fast descends a threatening night,
Then, lest dismay the soul appals,
The stars shine bright.
V
O great the wisdom, great the power,—
God draws the curtains of the night,
And, in the dark and lonesome hour,
The stars shine bright.
VI
The glory and the truth of God,
His lovingkindness and His care,—
Such is the light He sheds abroad,
His stars shine rare.
When night her sable curtain spreads
Mighty Yet Meek
Author: Eli Corwin Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Mighty, yet meek, He comes to seek Lyrics: 1 Mighty, yet meek, He comes to seek
And save the lost; to bring us peace,
And sweet release, at countless cost,
At countless cost.
2 Ye hearts that bleed, the bruisèd reed
He will not break. the smoldering fire
Shall not expire, He bids it wake,
He bids it wake.
3 Prisoners of hope, who helpless grope
In dungeon cells; lo, Jesus comes,
And from the tombs darkness dispels,
Darkness dispels.
4 Behold our king shall judgment bring,
And right shall reign. the blind shall see,
And captives be unbound again,
Unbound again.
5 Haste, bring the light that scatters night;
The nations wait, Lord not in vain
For Thee to reign in royal state,
In royal state.

My God Is Any Hour So Sweet
Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 287 hymnals First Line: My God, is any hour so sweet Lyrics: 1 My God, is any hour so sweet
From blush of morn to evening star,
As that which calls me to Thy feet,
The hour of prayer?
2 Then is my strength by Thee renewed;
Then are my sins by Thee forgiv’n;
Then dost Thou cheer my solitude
With hopes of heav’n.
3 No words can tell what sweet relief
There for my ev'ry want I find.
What strength for warfare, balm for grief,
What peace of mind!
4 Hushed is each doubt, gone ev'ry fear;
My spirit seems in heav’n to stay;
And e’en the penitential tear
Is wiped away.
5 Lord, till I reach yon blissful shore,
No privilege so dear shall be
As thus my inmost soul to pour
In prayer to thee.
Amen. Topics: Cleansing and Forgiveness; Comfort; Prayer Used With Tune: EUDORA

O pallid, gentle, grief-worn face
O Judge of all, when sinful men
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
I
O Judge of all, when sinful men
To Thy dire judgment seat are brought,—
Tell not the error of my life,
O tell it not.
II
When bowed with grief my tears are shed,
Because my life with sin is fraught,
To angel hosts tell not my sin,
O tell it not.
III
O hide the secrets of my soul,
And give the pardon I have sought,
And to the myriads round Thy throne,
O tell them not.
IV
O merciful and just Thou art;
In pity view my woeful lot,
And shame me not because of sin,—
O tell it not.
Hymns from the East, 1907
O Judge of all, when sinful men
Lord, let our evening prayer ascend
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
Lord, let our evening prayer ascend,
Thy servants by Thy grace defend,
Save, guard, and keep us to the end;
Have mercy, Lord.
When in the night our eyelids close,
Lord, may our souls in Thee repose,
Safe from the danger of their foes;
Grant this, O Lord.
91
Thy angel, peace, with us abide,
Nor ever leave Thy servants' side,
Our souls to guard, our steps to guide.
Grant this, O Lord.
Lord, let the sins--our souls' distress,
Which we in penitence confess--
Be pardoned in Thy faithfulness.
Our souls in Thee, O Lord, are blest;
Send what Thou knowest to be best;
We would not crave Thee for the rest.
Our time remaining, Lord, control;
Our sin, like clouds, far from us roll,
And give Thy peace within our soul.
And when we leave the world behind,
May we, unshamed and fearless, find
The Christ, our Judge, surpassing kind.
Grant this, O Lord.

From Out the Depths I Cry to Thee

O let Thy ear attentive be,
Hear Thou my supplicating plea,
Have mercy, Lord.

Who, Lord, could stand in judgment cleared,
Forgiveness, that Thou mayst be feared,
There is with Thee.
3. I wait for Thee, my soul doth wait,
Thy Word my hope in every strait;
None watch, O Lord, at morning’s gate
As I for Thee.

His mercy will thy faith reward,
He full redemption will accord
From all thy sin. Used With Tune: HANFORD (Sullivan) Text Sources: The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 364.
