I to the hills will lift mine eyes
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:1 Lyrics: 1 I to the hills will lift mine eyes;
from whence doth come mine aid?
My safety cometh from the Lord,
who heaven and earth hath made.
2 Thy foot he'll not let slide, nor will
he slumber that thee keeps;
behold, he that keeps Israel,
he slumbers not, nor sleeps.
3 The Lord thee keeps; the Lord thy shade
on thy right hand doth stay:
the moon by night thee shall not smite,
nor yet the sun by day.
4 The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall
preserve thee from all ill;
henceforth thy going out and in
God keep for ever will. Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Used With Tune: ST MARY Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650

The Duteous Day Now Closes
Author: Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676); Robert Seymour Bridges (1844-1930) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1, 2:1-4 Lyrics: 1 The duteous day now closes,
each flower and tree reposes,
shade creeps o'er wild and wood:
let us, as night is falling,
on God our maker calling,
give thanks and bless the Giver good.

breaks forth in starlight tender
from myriad worlds unknown;
and we, this marvel seeing,
forget our selfish being
for joy of beauty not our own.

has missed God's loving kindness
and plunged us into strife;
yet when life's day is over,
shall death's fair night discover
the fields of everlasting life. Topics: Evening; Creation; O Gracious Light Used With Tune: INNSBRUCK
