Great God, to thee my evening song

Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 286 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 Great God, to thee my evening song With humble gratitude I raise; Oh let thy mercy tune my tongue, And fill my heart with lively praise. 2 My days, unclouded as they pass, And every gentle, rolling hour, Are monuments of wondrous grace, And witness to thy love and power. 3 And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart, Too oft regardless of thy love, Ungrateful, can from thee depart, And, fond of trifles, vainly rove. 4 Seal my forgiveness in the blood Of Jesus; his dear name alone I plead for pardon, gracious God! And kind acceptance at thy throne. 5 Let this blest hope mine eyelids close; With sleep refresh my feeble frame; Safe in thy care may I repose, And wake with praises to thy name. Scripture: Psalm 127:2

I love to steal a while away

Appears in 634 hymnals Topics: The Christian Graces; Love The Home Lyrics: 1 I love to steal a while away From every cumbering care, And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer. 2 I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear; And all His promises to plead Where none but God can hear. 3 I love to think of mercies past, And future good implore, And all my cares and sorrows cast On Him whom I adore. 4 I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heaven; The prospect doth my strength renew While here by tempests driven. 5 Thus when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 Now condescend, almighty King, To bless this little throng; And kindly listen while we sing Our pleasant evening song. 2 Brothers and sisters, hand in hand, Our lips together move: Oh, smile upon this little band, Unite our hearts in love. 3 We come to own the power divine That watches o'er our days; For this our feeble voices join; To God we give the praise. 4 May we in safety sleep to-night, From every danger free; For, Lord, the darkness and the light Are both alike to thee. 5 And when the rising sun displays His cheering beams abroad, Then may our grateful morning lays Declare the love of God.

Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear

Appears in 1,480 hymnals Topics: The Christian Graces; Love The Home Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near; Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep. Be my last thought, how sweet to rest For ever on my Saviour's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without Thee I cannot live, Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die. 4 If some poor wandering child of Thine Have spurned to-day the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick, enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep to-night Like infant's slumber, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take; Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above.

The hours of evening close

Author: Conder Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 The hours of evening close; Its lengthened shadows, drawn O'er scenes of earth, invite repose, And wait the Sabbath dawn. 2 So let its calm prevail O'er forms of outward care; Nor thought for many things assail The still retreat of prayer. 3 Our guardian Shepherd near His watchful eye will keep; And safe from violence or fear Will fold his flock to sleep. 4 So may a holier light Than earth's our spirits rouse, And call us, strengthened by his might, To pay the Lord our vows.
