At even, ere the sun was set
Author: Henry Twells (1823-1900) Appears in 314 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set,
The sick, O Lord, around thee lay;
O in what divers pains they met!
O with what joy they went away!
2 Once more ‘tis eventide, and we,
Oppressed with various ills, draw near;
What if thy form we cannot see?
We know and feel that thou art here.
3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel,
For some are sick and some are sad,
And some have never loved thee well,
And some have lost the love they had.
4 O Saviour Christ, thou too art man;
Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
Thy kind but searching glance can scan
The very wounds that shame would hide.
5 Thy touch has still its ancient power;
No word from thee can fruitless fall;
Hear in this solemn evening hour,
And in thy mercy heal us all.

At even, ere the sun was set
Father, hear the prayer we offer
Author: Love Maria Willis (1824-1908) Appears in 238 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, hear the prayer we offer;
Not for ease that prayer shall be,
But for strength that we may ever
Live our lives courageously.
2 for ever in green pastures
Do we ask our way to be;
But the steep and rugged pathway
May we tread rejoicingly.
3 our strength in hours of weakness,
In our wanderings be our guide,
Through endeavour, failure, danger,
Father, be thou at our side.

Father, hear the prayer we offer
Lord, give me more soul-saving love
Author: William James Pearson (1832-92) Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, give me more soul-saving love,
Send a revival from above,
Thy mighty Spirit pour.
The Army of salvation bless
With righteousness and holiness,
Pressed down and running o’er.
2 Spread Calvary’s great salvation fame,
Make every tongue a living flame,
Soul-saving truth inspire.
With zeal inflame thy fighting host,
Baptise us with the Holy Ghost,
And set us all on fire.
3 Give power to speak thy conquering word,
To wield the Spirit’s two-edged sword,
And all Hell’s legions rout.
O touch us with the living coal,
And kindle fire in every soul
That never will die out!

Lord, give me more soul-saving love
O Love that wilt not let me go
Author: George Matheson (1842-1906) Appears in 683 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.
4 O cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

Fellowship with thee
Still, still with thee, when purple morning breaketh
Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe (1812-96) Appears in 349 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Still, still with thee, when purple morning breaketh,
When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee;
Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight,
Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with thee.
2 Still, still with thee! As to each new-born morning
A fresh and solemn splendour still is given,
So does this blessèd consciousness, awaking,
Breathe each day nearness unto thee and Heaven.
3 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil to slumber,
Its closing eye looks up to thee in prayer;
Sweet the repose beneath thy wings o’ershading,
But sweeter still, to wake and find thee there.
4 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning,
When the soul waketh, and life’s shadows flee;
O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning,
Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with thee!

Showers of blessing
Author: Daniel Webster Whittle (1840-1901) Appears in 320 hymnals First Line: There shall be showers of blessing Lyrics: 1 There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.
Refrain:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
2 There shall be showers of blessing:
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
3 There shall be showers of blessing:
Send them upon us, O Lord!
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come, and now honour thy word.
4 There shall be showers of blessing:
O that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!

Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 178 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine,
The joy and desire of my heart,
For closer communion I pine,
I long to reside where thou art.
The pastures I languish to find
Where all who their shepherd obey
Are fed, on thy bosom reclined,
And screened from the heat of the day.
2 Ah! show me that happiest place,
The place of thy people’s abode,
Where saints in true happiness gaze
And hang on a crucified God.
Thy love for a sinner declare,
Thy passion and death on the tree;
My spirit to Calvary bear,
To suffer and triumph with thee.
3 ‘Tis there, with the lambs of thy flock,
There only, I covet to rest,
To lie at the foot of the rock,
Or rise to be hid in thy breast.
‘Tis there I would always abide,
And never a moment depart,
Concealed in the cleft of thy side,
Eternally held in thy heart.
