Lord of the Sabbath
Author: Philip Doddridge; Thomas Cotterill Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 182 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns First Line: Lord of the Sabbath, hear us pray Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Sabbath, hear us pray,
In this thy house, on this thy day;
And own, as grateful sacrifice,
The songs which from thy temple rise.
2 Now met to pray and bless thy name,
Whose mercies flow each day the same,
Whose kind compassions never cease,
We seek instruction, pardon, peace.
3 Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love,
But there's a nobler rest above;
To that our lab'ring souls aspire
With ardent hope and strong desire.
4 In thy blest kingdom we shall be
From ev'ry mortal trouble free;
No sighs shall mingle with the songs
Resounding from immortal tongues.
Amen.

And save me through the coming night.

I lift my heart to Thee,
And call on Thee that sinless
The hours of night may be.
O Jesus, make their darkness light,
And save me through the coming night.

I raise the hymn to Thee,
And ask that free from peril
The hours of fear may be.
O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.

O God, for Thou dost know
How many are the perils
Through which I have to go.
Lover of men, O hear my call,
And guard and save me from them all.

Lead, Kindly Light
Author: John H. Newman Appears in 1,256 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns First Line: Lead, kindly Light! amid th'encircling gloom Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light! amid th'encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on;
The night is dark, and I am far from home,
Lead Thou me on;
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path, but now,
Lead Thou me on;
I loved the garish day, and spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will; remember not past years.
3 So long Thy pow'r hath blessed me, sure it still
Will lead me on
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone;
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
Amen. Used With Tune: LUX BENIGNA

Through our great Redeemer's name,
Show Thy reconciled face,
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.

May we feel Thy presence near;
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear;
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.

Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints;
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the church above. Used With Tune: SABBATH

Thus Far
Author: I. Watts Appears in 660 hymnals Topics: Hymns for Worship Evening Hymns First Line: Thus far the Lord has led me on Lyrics: 1. Thus far the Lord has led me on;
Thus far his pow'r prolongs my days;
And ev'ry evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.

And I, perhaps, am near my home;
But he forgives my follies past,
And gives me strength for days to come.
3. I lay my body down to sleep;
Peace is the pillow for my head;
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed. Used With Tune: HEBRON

Blest be the Tie that Binds
Author: John Fawcett, 1740-1817 Appears in 2,333 hymnals Topics: Closing and Evening Hymns Closing Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
2 Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent pray'rs;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again. Used With Tune: DENNIS
Blest be the Tie that Binds
