Thee, in the watches of the night

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Night thoughts Lyrics: Thee, in the watches of the night, My spirit would adore, 213 O God! in darkness, as in light, Defend me evermore. Yet not in Providence alone, In grace, Thyself impart; Erect Thy temple, fix Thy throne, Rule Thou within my heart. The morn and evening sacrifice, The noon and midnight prayer, I know that Thou wilt not despise, When meekly offer'd there. Though heaven and earth Thy presence fill. Thou surely art, O Lord, With Him who loves and does Thy will, Who hears and keeps Thy word. Henceforth be this the aim and end Of all my life below,-- Till to the tomb my dust descend, To Thee my spirit go.

Work through the morning hours; Work while the dew is sparkling, Work 'mid springing flowers; Work when the day grows brighter, Work in the glowing sun; Work, for the night is coming, When man's work is done. 2 Work, for the night is coming! Work through the sunny noon; Fill brightest hours with labour, Rest comes sure and soon. Give every flying minute Something to keep in store; Work, for the night is coming, When man works no more. 3 Work, for the night is coming! Under the sunset skies, While their bright tints are glowing, Work, for daylight flies. Work till the last beam fadeth, Fadeth, to shine no more; Work while the night is darkening, When man's work is o'er. Used With Tune: DILIGENCE

Out of the Depths

Author: Martin Luther; R. Massie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Night Watches First Line: Out of the depths to thee I raise Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths to thee I raise the voice of lamentation; Lord, turn a gracious ear to me, and hear my supplication; if thou shouldst be extreme to mark each secret sin and misdeed dark, O who could stand before Thee? 2 To wash away the crimson stain grace, grace alone prevaileth; our works, alas! are all in vain; in much the best life faileth: for none can glory in thy sight, all must alike confess thy might and live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my trust is in the Lord, and not in mine own merit; on him my soul shall rest: his word upholds my fainting spirit; him promised mercy is my fort, my comfort, and my strong support; I wait for it with patience. 4 What though I wait the live-long night, and till the dawn appeareth, my heart still trusteth in his might; it doubteth not nor feareth: so let the Israelite in heart, born of the Spirit, do his part, and wait till God appeareth.
