O Lord of peace, in mercy hear
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
O Lord of peace, in mercy hear,
The prayer of those Thy name that fear,
And bring Thy great Salvation near;
Have mercy, Lord.
May peace within our world reside;
Thy Church her cause to Thee confide,
And all, as one, in Thee abide;
Here let Thy people Thee revere;
In faith, and piety draw near,
And worship Thee in holy fear;
Thy priests within this holy place
Dispense the bounties of Thy grace,
As those who serve before Thy face.
Our Sovereign Lord with wisdom dress,
With hands unstained his council bless;
Upbuild his throne in righteousness.

In time of war, with strength endue,
Our hearts possess with courage true;
Our foes against the right subdue.
May earth her flowers and blossoms yield;
May fruits encrown the harvest field;
From waste, and want, Thy people shield.
The sailor on the restless deep,
The homeless in their wandering, keep;
The suffering soothe with kindly sleep.
Keep Thou our souls, O God, from harm,
From wrath, and danger, and alarm,
Safe in Thy strong, encircling arm.
Have mercy, Lord.

Come, rest awhile; 'tis eventide--
Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics:
Come, rest awhile; 'tis eventide--
The hour to meditation dear;
And set the cares of life aside,
For God is near.
Oh, let a thankful spirit tell
The wonders of His heavenly grace,
The love that loves us, all too well,
Who spurn His grace.
Amid our daily life He bears
Our cold despite and thankless scorn;
As if He gave not rest at eve,
And joy at morn.
185
Thou gav'st me, Lord, at early morn,
A gift unsullied, for my care;
Another day, I might adorn
With graces rare.
I dare not tell it to my God
But oh, that gift's no longer bright;
He gave it with the charm of morn,
And now 'tis night.
O God, 'tis well at eventide,
The hour for meditation given,
To know we're welcome at Thy side--
Foretaste of heaven.
For oh, one precious day misspent,
Is all too great a load to bear;
But I will lay it at Thy feet,
And leave it there.
Come, rest awhile; 'tis eventide--

Lord give me faith that I may rest,
In calm content, my weary head
Upon His breast.

And pass from darkness into day;
Put all the muttering hosts to rout,

Even mountains shall not bar my way;

Nor long delay.

In dungeon cells; lo, Jesus comes,
And from the tombs darkness dispels,

And right shall reign. the blind shall see,
And captives be unbound again,
Unbound again.

The nations wait, Lord not in vain
For Thee to reign in royal state,
In royal state.

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.

My God, Is Any Hour So Sweet
Author: Charles Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 287 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, is any hour so sweet,
From blush of morn to evening fair,

And blest the solemn hour of eve,
When, on the wings of prayer upborne,
The world I leave.

Then are my sins by Thee forgiven;
Then dost Thou cheer my solitude
With hopes of heaven.

There for my ev'ry want I find,
What strength for warfare, balm for grief,
What peace of mind.

My spirit seems in heaven to stay,
And e'en the penitential tear
Is wiped away.

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;

Thy angel, peace, with us abide,
Nor ever leave Thy servants' side,
Our souls to guard, our steps to guide.

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.

And let the peace it brings, each day
