Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go
Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 341 hymnals Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Evening Lyrics: 1 O Saviour, bless us ere we go;
thy word into our minds instil,
and make our lukewarm hearts to glow
with lowly love and fervent will.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.
2 The day is done, its hours have run,
and thou hast taken count of all,
the scanty triumphs grace hath won,
the broken vow, the frequent fall.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.
3 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways
true absolution and release;
and bless us, more than in past days,
with purity and inward peace.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.
4 Do more than pardon; give us joy,
sweet fear and sober liberty,
and simple hearts without alloy
that only long to be like thee.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.
5 For all we love, the poor, the sad,
the sinful, unto thee we call;
O let thy mercy make us glad:
thou art our Jesus, and our All.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light. Scripture: Psalm 27:1 Used With Tune: ST MATTHIAS
Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go
The duteous day now closeth
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; Robert Seymour Bridges, 1844-1930 Meter: 7.7.8.7.7.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Evening Lyrics: 1 The duteous day now closeth,
each flower and tree reposeth,
shade creeps o’er wild and wood;
let us, as night is falling,
on God our Maker calling,
give thanks to Him, the giver good.
2 Now all the heavenly splendour
breaks forth in starlight tender
from myriad worlds unknown;
and man, the marvel seeing,
forgets his selfish being,
for joy of beauty not his own.
3 His care he drowneth yonder,
lost in the abyss of wonder;
to heaven his soul doth steal;
this life he disesteemeth,
the day it is that dreameth,
that doth from truth his vision seal.
4 Awhile his mortal blindness
may miss God’s loving-kindness,
and grope in faithless strife;
but when life’s day is over
shall death’s fair night discover
the fields of everlasting life. Used With Tune: INNSBRUCK Text Sources: Other translators also

All praise to him who dwells in bliss
Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Praise An Evening Hymn Lyrics: 1 All praise to him who dwells in bliss,
Who made both day and night;
Whose throne is darkness, in th' abyss,
Of uncreated light.
2 Each thought and deed his piercing eyes
With strictest search survey:
The deepest shades no more disguise
Than the full blaze of day.
3 Whom thou dost guard, O King of Kings,
No evil shall molest:
Under the shadow of thy wings,
Shall they securely rest.
4 Thy angels shall around their beds
Their constant stations keep:
Thy faith and truth shall shield their heads,
For thou dost never sleep.
5 May we with calm and sweet repose,
And heavenly thoughts refresh'd,
Our eye-lids with the morn's unclose,
And bless thee, ever-bless'd!
All praise to him who dwells in bliss
