At even, ere the sun was set

Author: H. Twells Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 314 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set, The sick, O Lord, around Thee lay; Oh, in what divers pains they met! Oh, 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 And some have found the world is vain, Yet from the world they break not free, And some have friends that give them pain, Yet have not sought a friend in Thee. 5 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, For none are wholly free from sin; And they who fain would love Thee best Are conscious most of wrong within. 6 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. 7 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. Amen. Topics: Daily Prayer Evening; Hospitals; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: ANGELUS

We give immortal praise

Author: I. Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 203 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We give immortal praise To God the Father’s love, For all our comforts here, And all our hopes above; He sent His own Eternal Son To die for sins that man had done. 2 To God the Son belongs Immortal glory too, Who saved us by His blood From everlasting woe: And now He lives, and now He reigns, And sees the fruit of all His pains. 3 To God the Spirit praise And endless worship give, Whose new-creating power Makes the dead sinner live: His work completes the great design And fills the soul with joy divine. 4 Almighty God, to Thee Be endless honors done; The sacred Persons Three, The Godhead only One; Where reason fails with all her powers, There faith prevails, and love adores.

The shadows of the evening hours

Author: A. A. Procter Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 236 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The shadows of the evening hours Fall from the darkening sky; Upon the fragrance of the flowers The dews of evening lie. 2 Before Thy throne, O Lord of heaven, We kneel at close of day; Look on Thy children from on high, And hear us while we pray. 3 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord, Oh, do not Thou despise, But let the incense of our prayers Before Thy mercy rise. 4 The brightness of the coming night Upon the darkness rolls; With hopes of future glory chase The shadows on our souls. 5 Slowly the rays of daylight fade: So fade within our heart The hopes of earthly love and joy, That one by one depart. 6 Slowly the bright stars, one by one, Within the heavens shine: Give us, O Lord, fresh hopes in heaven, And trust in things divine. 7 Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God, Upon our souls descend; From midnight fears, and perils, Thou Our trembling hearts defend: 8 Give us a respite from our toil; Calm and subdue our woes; Through the long day we labor, Lord, Oh, give us now repose. Amen. Topics: Daily Prayer Evening; Peace Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD

Behold, the Master passeth by!

Author: W. W. How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold, the Master passeth by! Oh, seest thou not His pleading eye? With low sad voice He calleth thee, "Leave this vain world, and follow Me." 2 O soul, bound down with harrowing care, Hast thou no thought for heaven to spare? From earthly toils lift up thine eye; Behold, the Master passeth by! 3 One heard Him calling long ago, And straightway left all things below, Counting his earthly gain as loss For Jesus and His blessèd cross. 4 That "follow Me" his faithful ear Seemed every day afresh to hear; Its echoes stirred his spirit still, And fired his hope, and nerved his will. 5 God gently calls us every day: Why should we then our bliss delay? He calls to heaven and endless light: Why should we love the dreary night? 6 Praise, Lord, to Thee, for Matthew's call, At which he rose and left his all: Thou, Lord, e'en now art calling me; I will leave all, and follow Thee.

Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown

Author: E. E. S. Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 419 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy thrown and Thy kingly crown When Thou camest to earth for me, But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room For Thy holy nativity. Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus! There is room in my heart for Thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But in lowly birth didst Thou come to earth, And in great humility. Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus! There is room in my heart for Thee. 3 The foxes found rest,aand the birds their nest, In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee. Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus! There is room in my heart for Thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word, That should set Thy people free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary. Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus! Thy cross is my only plea. 5 When heaven's shall ring, and the angels sing At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee" And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest and callest for me. Amen. Topics: General; Christmas Used With Tune: MARGARET

Move on the waters' face Bearing the lamp of grace, And, in earth's darkest place Let there be light! 4 Holy and blessèd Three, Glorious Trinity, Wisdom, Love, Might; Boundless as ocean's tide, Rolling in fullest pride Through the world, far and wide, Let there be light!
