Since now the day hath reached its close

Author: Johann Friederich Herzog Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Since now the day hath reached its close, And sunlight shines no more, In sleep the toil-worn find repose, And all who wept before. 2 But Thou, my Lord, no rest dost know, No slumber dims Thy sight, Thou hatest darkness as Thy foe, Since Thou Thyself art light. 3 O Lord, I pray, remember me Throughout the shades of night, And grant to me most graciously The shield of Thy great might. 4 And foil Thou Satan's purpose fell Through Thy swift angel-arm, Then free from care, I'll rest me well And safe from every harm. 5 I feel indeed through guilt undone, It cried aloud to Thee: But yet, the mercy from Thy Son Hath full atoned for me. 6 Him I present Thee as my Bail, While suppliant at Thy feet, With such assurance I'll not fail Before Thy judgement-seat. 7 Away, vain, idle thoughts depart! Roam not my soul abroad; For now I build within my heart A temple to my God. 8 And hereupon my eyes I close, And fall asleep heart-glad; My God doth watch o'er my repose, Why should my heart be sad? 9 And thus I live and die to Thee, Thou Sabaoth strong, indeed! In life and death Thou helpest me From every fear and need. 10 Should this night prove the last for me In this dark vale of tears, Then lead me, Lord, in heaven to Thee And my elect compeers.

Lord, we confess our numerous faults

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, we confess our numerous faults, How great our guilt has been: Foolish and vain were all our thoughts, And all our lives were sin. 2 But, O my soul, forever praise, Forever love His Name, Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways Of folly, sin, and shame. 3 'Tis not by works of righteousness Which our own hands have done: But we are saved by sovereign grace Abounding through his Son. 4 'Tis through the purchase of His death Who hung upon the tree, The Spirit is sent down to breathe On such dry bones as we. 5 Raised from the dead, we live anew; And, justified by grace, We shall appear in glory, too, And see our Father's face. Amen. Topics: Assurance; Christ Ransom; Confession of Faith; Confession of Sin; Faith Assurance of; Grace Sovereign Used With Tune: ROMBERG

Thanks for all

Author: Mrs. Jane Crewdson Appears in 43 hymnals First Line: O thou, whose bounty fills my cup Lyrics: 1 O thou, whose bounty fills my cup With every blessing meet! I give thee, thanks for every drop-- The bitter and the sweet. 2 I praise thee for the desert road, And for the river-side; For all thy goodness that bestowed, And all thy grace denied. 3 I thank thee for both smile and frown, And for the gain and loss; I praise thee for the future crown, And for the present cross. 4 I thank thee for the wing of love, Which stirred my worldly nest; And for the stormy clouds which drove The flutterer to thy breast. 5 I bless thee for the glad increase, And for the waning joy; And for this strange, this settled peace, Which nothing can destroy.
