Refrain: One more day of life is gone, O gracious Father, Thou hast sweetly kept us since we rose; Now accept the evening praise we offer, Ere in Thy arms we seek repose. 2 Glory to the name of Jesus, for salvation all the day! For Thy wall of love around us, keeping evil far away; Humbly in Thy presence bowing, Father, we implore Thy grace, That no sinful shadow hide Thy smiling face. [Refrain] 3 Father, keep us ever holy, till our sun of life is set, Like the twilight’s golden glory, may Thy presence linger yet; Fold us in Thy arms of mercy, as we lay our bodies down, In the final morning give us all a crown. [Refrain] Select Hymns, 1911 (Timeless Truths) Used With Tune: [Lord, the shades of night are gently soothing nature into rest]

Through the Night of Sin and Terror

Author: Martha F. Bellinger Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Thro' the night of sin and terror Lyrics: 1 Thro’ the night of sin and terror, Thro’ grim war’s revolting gloom, Gleamed the Faith that conquers error, Breaks the clouds and cheats the tomb. Rise, O brothers, light the torches Bring to men their hearts’ desire; Conqu’ring Christians, lift the signal Light of faith’s undying fire. 2 Down the sorrow-burdened ages Since Christ spoke the mystic word, Shone a light upon time’s pages, Flick’ring light of hope deferred. Rise, O brothers, light the torches, Lift the hearts of men still high’r; Conqu’ring Christians, lift the signal Light of hope’s undying fire. 3 Build ye now the kingdom glorious, Christ’s abundant mission prove; Faith and hope once more victorious Triumph thro’ atoning love. Rise, O brothers, light the torches, Raise God’s standard high above; Conqu’ring Christians, lift the signal Light of God’s undying Love! Topics: Assurance; Faith Used With Tune: [Thro' the night of sin and terror]
