Saviour, when night involves the skies

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 72 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Saviour, when night involves the skies, My soul, adoring, turns to Thee; Thee, self-abased in mortal guise, And wrapt in shades of death for me. 2. On Thee my waking raptures dwell, When crimson gleams the east adorn, Thee, Victor of the grave and hell, Thee, Source of life's eternal morn. 3. When noon her throne in light arrays, To Thee my soul triumphant springs; Thee, throned in glory's endless blaze, Thee, Lord of lords and King of kings. 4. O'er earth, when shades of evening steal, To death and Thee my thoughts I give; To death, whose power I soon must feel, To Thee, with Whom I trust to live. Topics: Family Worship

Since I've known a Saviour's name

Meter: Irregular Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Since I've known a Saviour's Name And sin's strong fetters broke, Careful without care I am, Nor feel my easy yoke: Joyful now my faith to show, I find His service my reward, All the work I do below Is light, for such a Lord. 2 To the desert or the cell Let others blindly fly, In this evil world I dwell, Nor fear its enmity; Here I find a house of prayer, To which I inwardly retire; Walking unconcerned in care, And unconsumed in fire. 3 O that all the world might know Of living, Lord, to Thee, Find their heaven begun below, And here Thy goodness see; Walk in all the works prepared By Thee to exercise their grace, Till they gain their full reward, And see Thee face to face!
