Softly Now the Light of Day
Glory to Thee, my God, this night
Author: Bp. T. Ken, 1637-1711 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #210 (1917) Topics: Evening Hymns Lyrics: 1 Glory to Thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
Beneath Thine own almighty wings!
2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son,
The ill that I this day have done;
That, with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
Rise glorious at the awful day.
4 O may my soul on Thee repose!
And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close;
Sleep that shall me more vigorous make,
To serve my God when I awake.
5 When in the night I sleepless lie,
My soul with heavenly thoughts supply;
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
No powers of darkness me molest.
6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS' CANON
Glory to Thee, my God, this night
O'er field and forest stealing
Author: Alfred Henry Reynar; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #225a (1917) Topics: Evening Hymns Lyrics: 1 O'er field and forest stealing,
Comes night, all eyelids sealing,
And silence holds the air;
But wake, my soul, before Him,
And gratefully adore Him
Who guards thee with a sleepless care.
2 The sun himself hath vanished,
By conquering darkness banished,
By darkness, foe of day;
But Christ my sun ascendeth,
New light and joy He lendeth
To drive my spirit's gloom away.
3 The day declared His glory,
The stars now tell the story,
The marvels of His might,
So, when this life is ended,
I with the saints ascended
Shall praise His love in endless light.
4 My body for its resting
Of toil-stained garb divesting,
In sleep, from care I hide,
What dreams and visions cheer me!
How Christ, my Lord, comes near me!
And sets me by His wounded side.
5 With mind and body jaded,
And eyes from watching faded,
I long the day to close.
Soon comes the time and hour
When from all troublous power
Kind death shall bring a sweet repose.
6 When eyes shall close for ever,
When soul and body sever,
What then for me remains?
The God of my salvation
Will, in His new creation,
Give endless bliss for mortal pains. Languages: English Tune Title: CARLTON STREET

May we, in Thy mighty keeping,
All peaceful lie.

Do not Thou, O God, forsake us;
But to reign in glory take us
With Thee on high. Languages: English Tune Title: NUTFIELD

and for the love we owe the modern city,
Lord, make us cheerful.

sharpen our insight.

give us the nerve to lose ourselves to others;
be with your church in death and resurrection,
God of all ages. Languages: English Tune Title: LOBET DEN HERREN
