Across the Sky the Shades of Night
Author: James Hamilton Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: The Church Year New Year's Eve Lyrics: 1 Across the sky the shades of night
This New Year’s Eve are fleeting,
We deck Thine altar, Lord, with light,
In solemn worship meeting;
And as the year’s last hours go by,
We raise to Thee our earnest cry,
Once more Thy love entreating.
2 Before the cross subdued we bow,
To Thee our prayers addressing,
Recounting all Thy mercies now,
And all our sins confessing;
Beseeching Thee this coming year
To keep us in Thy faith and fear
And crown us with Thy blessing.
3 And while we pray, we lift our eyes
To dear ones gone before us,
Safe home with thee in Paradise,
Whose peace descendeth o’er us;
And beg of Thee, when life is past,
To reunite us all at last
With those who’ve gone before us.
4 We gather up in this brief hour
The mem'ry of Thy mercies;
Thy wondrous goodness, love and pow'r
Our grateful song rehearses;
For Thou hast been our Strength and Stay
In many a dark and dreary day
Of sorrow and reverses.
5 In many an hour when fear and dread,
Like evil spells, have bound us
And clouds were gathering overhead,
Thy providence hath found us.
In many a night when seas ran high,
Thy gracious presence, drawing nigh,
Hath made all calm around us.
6 Then, O great God, in years to come,
Whatever may betide us,
Right onward through our journey home
Be Thou at hand to guide us;
Nor leave us till at close of life,
Safe from all perils, toil, and strife,
Heaven shall enfold and hide us.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 121:1 Used With Tune: ALLEIN GOTT IN DER HÖH'

Saviour, when in dust to Thee
Author: Robert Grant Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 445 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Lent: Litany Hymns Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when in dust to Thee
Low we bow th'adoring knee;
When, repentant, to the skies,
Scarce we lift our weeping eyes;
O, by all Thy pains and woe
Suffered once for man below,
Bending from Thy throne on high,
Hear our solemn litany!
2 By Thy helpless infant years,
By Thy life of want and tears,
By Thy days of sore distress
In the savage wilderness,
By the dread mysterious hour
Of th'insulting tempter's power;,
Turn, O turn, a favoring eye,
Hear our solemn litany!
3 By thine hour of dire despair,
By thine agony of prayer;
By the Cross, the nail, the thorn,
Piercing spear, and torturing scorn;
By the gloom that veiled the skies
O'er the dreadful Sacrifice;
Listen to our humble sigh;
Hear our solemn litany!
4 By Thy deep expiring groan;
By the sad sepulchral stone:
By the vault whose dark abode
Held in vain the rising God;
O, from earth to heaven restored,
Mighty, re-ascended Lord,
Listen, listen to the cry
Of our solemn litany!
Amen. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
