Saviour, Breathe an Evening Blessing
Author: James Edmeston, 1791-1867 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #145 (1957) Topics: Worship and Praise Evening Hymns Lyrics: 1 Saviour, breath an evening blessing,
Ere repose our spirits seal;
Sin and want we come confessing:
Thou can'st save, and Thou canst heal.
2 Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrow past us fly;
Angel-guards from Thee surround us;
We are safe if Thou art nigh.
3 Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou art He who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be.
4 Should swift death this night o'ertake us,
And our couch become our tomb,
May the morn in heaven awake us,
Clad in light and deathless bloom.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENING PRAYER

How Calmly the Evening
Author: Thomas T. Lynch, 1818-71 Hymnal: Concordia #248 (1918) Topics: Closing and Evening Hymns Evening First Line: How calmly the evening once more is descending Lyrics: 1 How calmly the evening once more is descending,
As kind as a promise, as still as a pray'r;
O wing of the Lord, in Thy shelter befriending,
May we and our households continue to share.
2 The sky, like the kingdom of heaven, is open;
O enter, my soul, at the glorious gates;
The silence and smile of His love are the token,
Who now for all comers invitingly waits.
3 We come to be soothed with His merciful healing,
The dews of the night cure the wounds of the day;
We come, our life's worth and its brevity feeling,
With thanks for the past, for the future we pray.
4 Lord, save us from folly; be with us in sorrow;
Sustain us in work till the time of our rest;
When earth's day is over, may heaven's tomorrow
Dawn on us, of homes long expected possessed. Languages: English Tune Title: WHITCHURCH

Thou Sovereign Let My Evening Song
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #685 (1972) Topics: The Christian Home Morning, Evening Hymns First Line: Thou sov'reign, let my evening song Lyrics: 1 Thou sov'reign, let my evening song
Like holy Incense rise;
Assist the off'rings of my tongue
To reach the lofty skies.
2 Thro' all the dangers of the day,
Thy hand was still my guard,
And still to drive my wants away
Thy mercy stood prepared.
3 Perpetual blessings from above
Encompass me around;
But, O, how few returns of love
Hath my Creator found!
4 Sprinkled afresh with pard'ning blood,
I lay me down to rest,
As in th' embraces of my God,
Or on my Savior's breast. Scripture: Psalm 141:2 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. BERNARD NEW

Dread Sov'reign, let my evening song
Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCLVI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 Dread Sov'reign, let my evening song
Like holy incense rise;
Assist the off'rings of my tongue
To reach the lofty skies.

Thy hand was still my guard,
And still to drive my wants away
Thy mercy stood prepar'd.
3 Perpetual blessings from above,
Encompass me around;
But O, how few returns of love
Hath my Creator found!
4 What have I done for him who dy'd
To save my wretched soul?
How are my follies multiply'd,
Fast as my minutes roll.
5 Lord, with this guilty heart of mine,
To thy dear cross I flee,
And to thy grace my soul resign
To be renew'd by thee.

The shadows of the evening hours
Author: Adelaide A. Procter Hymnal: The Hymnal #36 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 The shadows of the evening hours
Fall from the darkening sky;
Upon the fragrance of the flowers
The dews of evening lie:
Before Thy throne, O Lord of heaven,
We kneel at close of day;
Look on Thy children from on high,
And hear us while we pray.
2 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord,
O do not Thou despise,
But let the incense of our prayers
Before Thy mercy rise.
The brightness of the coming night
Upon the darkness rolls;
With hopes of future glory chase
The shadows on our souls.
3 Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God,
Upon our souls descend;
From midnight fears and perils, Thou
Our trembling hearts defend:
Give us a respite from our toil,
Calm and subdue our woes;
Through the long day we labor, Lord,
O give us now repose.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. LEONARD (HILES)

Savior, Breathe an Evening Blessing
At even, when the sun was set
Author: Rev. Henry Twells Hymnal: The Hymnal #43 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 At even, when the sun was set,
The sick, O Lord, around Thee lay;
O in what divers pains they met!
O with what joy they went away!
2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we,
Oppressed with various ills, draw near:
What if Thy form we cannot see?
We know and feel that Thou art here.
3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel:
For some are sick, and some are sad,
And some have never loved Thee well,
And some have lost the love they had.
4 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest,
For none are wholly free from sin;
And they who fain would serve Thee best
Are conscious most of wrong within.
5 O Saviour Christ, Thou too art man;
Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
Thy kind but searching glance can scan
The very wounds that shame would hide.
6 Thy touch has still its ancient power;
No word from Thee can fruitless fall:
Hear in this solemn evening hour,
And in Thy mercy heal us all.
Amen. Tune Title: ANGELUS
