When, Streaming from the Eastern Skies
Author: William Shrubsole Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 204 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, streaming from the eastern skies,
The morning light salutes mine eyes,
O Sun of righteousness divine,
On me with beams of mercy shine;
Chase all dark clouds of guilt away,
And turn my darkness into day.
2 When, unto heaven's glorious King
My morning sacrifice I bring;
And, grieving o'er my guilt and shame,
Ask mercy, Saviour, in Thy Name:
My conscience sprinkle with Thy blood,
And be my Advocate with God.
3 When each day's scenes and labors close,
And wearied nature seeks repose,
With pardoning mercy richly blest,
Guard me, my Saviour, while I rest:
And as each rising sun I see,
O draw me nearer unto Thee.
4 And, at my life's last setting sun,
My conflict o'er, my labors done,
Jesus, Thy heavenly radiance shed,
To cheer and bless my dying bed;
And from death's gloom my spirit raise,
To see Thy face and sing Thy praise.
Amen. Topics: Occasional Morning; Morning Used With Tune: BROWNWELL

Now God Be with Us, for the Night Is Closing
Author: Miss Catherine Winkworth Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now God be with us, for the night is closing.
The light and darkness are of His disposing,
And 'neath His shadow here to rest we yield us,
For He will shield us.
2 Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us;
Till morning cometh, watch, O Father, o’er us,
In soul and body Thou from harm defend us,
Thine angels send us.
3 Let pious thoughts be ours when sleep o’ertakes us;
Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us;
Thee let us serve in all that we are doing
Thy praise pursuing.
4 Through Thy Belovèd soothe the sick and weeping.
And bid the captive lose his griefs in sleeping:
Widows and orphans, we to Thee commend them;
Do Thou befriend them.
5 We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us,
Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us;
But Thy dear presence will not leave them lonely
Who seek Thee only.
6 Father, Thy Name be praised, Thy kingdom given,
Thy will be done on earth as ’tis in heaven,
Give daily bread, forgive our sins, deliver
Us now and ever.
Amen. Topics: Occasional Evening; Evening Used With Tune: NIGHTFALL Text Sources: Bohemian Brethren, 1566, a.

All Praise to Thee, My God, This Night
Author: Thomas Ken Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,048 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All praise to Thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
Beneath Thine own almighty wings.
2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son,
The ill that I this day have done:
That, with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
To die, that this vile body may
Rise glorious at the judgment day.
4 O then shall I in endless day,
When sleep and death have passed away,
With all Thy saints and angels sing
In endless praise to Thee, my King.
Amen.

Saviour, Breathe an Evening Blessing

Ere repose our spirits seal;
Sin and want we come confessing;
Thou canst save, and thou canst heal.
2 Tho' destruction walk around us,
Tho' the arrow past us fly,
Angel guards from Thee surround us;
We are safe, if Thou art nigh.
3 Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou art He, who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be.
4 Be Thou nigh should death o’ertake us,
Jesus, then our Refuge be;
And in Paradise awake us,
There to rest in peace with Thee.
Amen.

Let eternal morning rise,

Sun of My Soul, Thou Saviour Dear
Author: John Keble Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,440 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear,
It is not night if Thou be near;
O may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.
2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My wearied eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought, how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour's breast.
3 Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.
4 If some poor wandering child of Thine
Has spurned to-day the voice divine,
Now, Lord, the gracious work begin;
Let him no more lie down in sin.
5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor
With blessings from Thy boundless store;
Be every mourner's sleep to-night,
Like infant's slumbers, pure and light.
6 Come near and bless us when we wake,
Ere through the world our way we take;
Till in the ocean of Thy love
We lose ourselves in heaven above.
Amen. Topics: Occasional Evening; Evening Used With Tune: HURSLEY

My Country, 'Tis of Thee
Author: Samuel Francis Smith Appears in 1,946 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My country, 'tis of thee.
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing:
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring.
2 My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
3 Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song:
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
4 Our fathers' God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King.

O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,241 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home!
2 Under the shadow of Thy throne
Still may we dwell secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in Thy sight,
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5 The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all heir cares and fears,
Are carried downward by the flood,
And lost in following years.
6 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
7 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guide while life shall last,
And our eternal home!

Sing to the Lord of Harvest
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 121 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest,
Sing songs of love and praise;
With joyful hearts and voices
Your alleluias raise:
By Him the rolling seasons
In fruitful order move;
Sing to the Lord of harvest
A song of happy love.
2 By Him the clouds drop fatness,
The deserts bloom and spring,
The hills leap up in gladness,
The valleys laugh and sing:
He filleth with His fulness
All things with large increase,
He crowns the year with goodness,
With plenty, and with peace.
3 Heap on His sacred altar
The gifts His goodness gave,
The golden sheaves of harvest,
The souls He died to save:
Your hearts lay down before Him,
When at His feet ye fall,
And with your lives adore Him,
Who gave His life for all.
