And in the morning may I bear Thy loving-kindness on my heart!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Daily Devotion Evening Lyrics: 1 And now the sun hath sunk to rest Again we bend the knee, And meekly lift our ev'ning thoughts, O God and King, to Thee: 2 To Thee, whom seraph hosts adore, Whom friends believe and fear, Whose mercy seat, in skies above, To contrite hearts is near. 3 Drive evil thoughts and dreams afar, And, waking or asleep, May heav'nly peace, Thy peace, O God, Through Christ our bosoms keep. 4 Let mercy fall on us like dew, And angel pinions play Around us, while the hours of night In silence pass away. 5 Each night beside the sable gate Of death the sleeper lies, And if we pass its portals, Lord, Let Eden greet our eyes.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Daily Devotion Evening Lyrics: 1 Since now the day hath reached its close, And sunlight shines no more, In sleep the toil-worn find repose, And all who wept before. 2 But Thou, my Lord, no rest dost know, No slumber dims Thy sight, Thou hatest darkness as Thy foe, Since Thou Thyself art light. 3 O Lord, I pray, remember me Throughout the shades of night, And grant to me most graciously The shield of Thy great might. 4 And foil Thou Satan's purpose fell Through Thy swift angel-arm, Then free from care, I'll rest me well And safe from every harm. 5 I feel indeed through guilt undone, It cried aloud to Thee: But yet, the mercy from Thy Son Hath full atoned for me. 6 Him I present Thee as my Bail, While suppliant at Thy feet, With such assurance I'll not fail Before Thy judgement-seat. 7 Away, vain, idle thoughts depart! Roam not my soul abroad; For now I build within my heart A temple to my God. 8 And hereupon my eyes I close, And fall asleep heart-glad; My God doth watch o'er my repose, Why should my heart be sad? 9 And thus I live and die to Thee, Thou Sabaoth strong, indeed! In life and death Thou helpest me From every fear and need. 10 Should this night prove the last for me In this dark vale of tears, Then lead me, Lord, in heaven to Thee And my elect compeers.

Soul and body, mind and health, Wife and children, house and wealth, Friend and foe, the sick, the stranger, Keep Thou safe from harm and danger. 4 O Thou mighty God, now hearken To the prayer Thy child hath made; Jesus, while the night-hours darken Be Thou still my Hope, my Aid; Holy Ghost, on Thee I call, Friend and Comforter of all, Hear my earnest prayer, O hear me!

The silent moon is risen

Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Daily Devotion Evening Lyrics: 1 The silent moon is risen, The golden star-fires glisten In heaven serene and bright; The forest sleeps in shadow, And slowly off the meadow A mist si curling, silver-white. 2 The veil of night is closing Around a world reposing In calm and holy trust; It seems like one still chamber, Where weary hearts remember No more the sorrows of the dust. 3 Behold the full moon beaming! So round and fair 'tis gleaming, Yet half is hid from sight. So, oft on earth, deceive us Things that now seem so grievous, Because the half is veiled in night 4 We, poor, frail mortals, groping, Half fearing and half hoping, In darkness seek our way; Our airy cobwebs spinning With erring and with sinning, Far from the mark we stray. 5 Thy saving health, O grant us, Lord, that we ne'er may vaunt us In vain and fleeting show; But child-like and confiding, Follow Thy gentle guiding, And in Thy paths with gladness go. 6 When death comes to release us With kindly hand, and frees us Ere life's a weary load; Then, when earth's ties we sever, Take us to Thee forever, Thou kind, Thou true, Thou gracious God! 7 The night's cool breath is creeping; Brothers, in God's good keeping Your weary eyelids close. His grace from ill defend us, And peaceful slumber send us, And soothe our poor sick neighbor's woes!
