Now the light has gone away
Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Evening; Hymns for Little Children Lyrics: 1 Now the light has gone away,
Saviour, listen while I pray,
Asking Thee to watch and keep,
And to send me quiet sleep.
2 Jesus, Saviour, wash away,
All that has been wrong to-day;
Help me every day to be
Good and gentle, more like Thee.
3 Let my near and dear ones be,
Always near and dear to Thee;
O bring me and all I love
To Thy happy Home above.
4 Now my evening praise I give;
Thou didst die that I might live,
All my blessings come from Thee,
O how good Thou art to me!
5 Thou my best and kindest Friend,
Thou wilt love me to the end!
Let me love Thee more and more,
Always better than before.
Amen. Used With Tune: GERMAN EVENING HYMN
Now the light has gone away
Lead, Kindly Light
Author: John H. Newman Appears in 1,257 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns First Line: Lead, kindly Light! amid th'encircling gloom Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light! amid th'encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on;
The night is dark, and I am far from home,
Lead Thou me on;
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path, but now,
Lead Thou me on;
I loved the garish day, and spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will; remember not past years.
3 So long Thy pow'r hath blessed me, sure it still
Will lead me on
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone;
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
Amen. Used With Tune: LUX BENIGNA
Lead, Kindly Light
The Shadows of the Evening Hours
Author: Adelaide A. Procter, 1825-1864 Appears in 237 hymnals Topics: Worship and Praise 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 from 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. Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD

And gives me strength for days to come.

Peace is the pillow for my head;
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed. Used With Tune: HEBRON

O boundless Mercy pardoning all,

With one last prayer Thy children fall.

And others worship here in turn,
O may we sing that song before Thee,
Which none but Thy redeemed can learn.

Of our everlasting feast.

Bring relief for all complaints;

O Holy Spirit, grant us Grace

That we our Lord and Savior
In faith and fervent love embrace,
And truly serve Him ever,
So that when death is drawing nigh,
We to His open wounds may fly,
And find in them salvation.

In faithful hearts may treasure;
Let e’er that bread of life afford
New grace in richest measure;
Yea, let us die to ev'ry sin,
For heaven create us new within,
That fruits of faith may flourish.
3 And when our earthly race is run,
Death’s bitter hour impending,
Then may Thy work, in us begun,
Continue till life’s ending:
Until we gladly may commend
Our souls into our Savior’s hand,
The crown in peace eternal. Used With Tune: HVAD KAN OS KOMME TIL FOR NÖD
