The Country Lies In Deep Repose

Author: B. S. Ingemann Hymnal: HCH11927 #51 (1927) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The country lies in deep repose, And peace rules hearth and home, While silver clouds the moon inclose And through the heavens roam. 2 The lake without a ripple lies In heaven's soft embrace; From yonder hills sweet voices rise And thank the Lord of grace. 3 While earth succumbs to peaceful rest And finds from cares relief, I bid thee, stranger, in my breast: Forget thy fear and grief. 4 Make peace with ev'ry soul that here May not thee understand; Behold from heaven's lofty sphere Peace falls upon the land! 5 An angel, standing by thy side With healing on his wings, To thee, when falls the eventide, Sweet peace from heaven brings. 6 Oh, learn of him thy evening song: Peace be to ev'ry soul! Though here he may not tarry long, He leads to yonder goal. Topics: Morning and Evening Languages: English Tune Title: [The country lies in deep repose]

Abide With Me

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: HCH11927 #52 (1927) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Abide with me; fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide: When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence ev'ry passing hour, What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Thro' cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe,with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine thro' the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadows

Author: Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: HCH11927 #54 (1927) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadows All woodlands, fields, and meadows, The world in slumber lies. But thou, my soul, awake thee, To song and pray'r betake thee, Let praise to thy Creator rise. 2 The rule of day is over, And shining jewels cover The sky above so blue. Thus I shall shine in heaven, Where crowns of gold are given To all who faithful stay and true. 3 Ye members weak and tired, Enjoy the rest desired, The quiet sleep ye crave. There comes a time for sleeping In God's own faithful keeping, When ye are bedded in your grave. 4 My tired eyes are closing, And while I lie reposing, Soul, body, where are ye? To Thee be they commended, O God, till night is ended; Thy waking Eye watch over me! 5 Lord Jesus, who dost love me, Thy pinions spread above me And shield me well from harm. Let angel guards attend me, And from the foe defend me, That I may rest without alarm. Topics: Morning and Evening Languages: English Tune Title: [Now rest beneath night's shadows]

O God, Before I Slumber

Author: H. Steffensen Hymnal: HCH11927 #55 (1927) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 O God, before I slumber This night, now dark and somber, Incline Thine ear to me; For all, which Thou hast given, For Thy sweet gifts from heaven, I give my humble thanks to Thee. 2 Thy grace and loving kindness To me, beset with blindness, I do not understand; The more Thy gifts I ponder, The greater is my wonder, When I behold Thy bounteous hand. 3 Each day, anew beginning, I know that I am sinning Against Thy precious Word; But Thou my sins forgivest, Thou, who forever livest, A merciful and faithful Lord. 4 Thou unto me art bending And hearest when I'm sending To Thee my longing sigh; My soul Thy grace adoreth, Thy Spirit me restoreth To worship Thee, my God on high. 5 O Lord, my Comfort tender, To Thee I do surrender My body, soul, and all. I lay me down asleeping, Relying on Thy keeping, And on Thy mighty arm I fall. Topics: Morning and Evening Languages: English Tune Title: [O God, before I slumber]

Hallowed Church Bell, Not For Earthly Centers

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: HCH11927 #57 (1927) Meter: 10.9.10.9 First Line: Hallowed church bell not for earthly centers Lyrics: 1 Hallowed church bell, not for worldly centers Wast thou made but for the village small, Where thy toll, as home and hearth it enters, Blends with lullabies at even fall. 2 When a child, and in the country dwelling, Christmas morning seemed my heav'n on earth, And thy chimes, like angel voices swelling, Told with joy of my Redeemer’s birth. 3 Louder still thy joyful tones resounded When, on wings of early morning borne, They proclaimed: Awake with joy unbounded, Christ arose this blessed Easter morn. 4 Sweeter even was thy toll when blending With the calm of summer's eventide, And, like voices from the sky descending, They did bid me lay all care aside. 5 Hence, as now the day is softly ending, Shadows fall, and birds ascend their nest, With the flow'rs my head in silence bending, I am chanting with my soul at rest: 6 "When at last, O church bell, thou art tolling O’er my grave as loved ones weep and sigh, Say to them, their troubled hearts consoling: He is resting with the Lord on high!'"

O God, Our Help In Ages Past

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: HCH11927 #58 (1927) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our 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 Thy saints have dwelt 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 Time, like an ever rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 6 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come! Be Thou our guard while life shall last, And our eternal home. Topics: New Year Languages: English Tune Title: [O God, our help in ages past]

The Old Year Now Hath Passed Away

Arise, My Soul, This New Year's Morning

Author: A. Timm Hymnal: HCH11927 #60 (1927) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, this New Year's Morning And put away all doubt and fear; To all who unto God are turning, He gives His grace from year to year; He who forever is the same, Will hear thy pray'rs in Jesus' name. 2 When sunlight on thy path is falling, Do not forget His love and care, Nor shrink when He on Thee is calling With fortitude thy cross to bear; In gain or loss, in joy or blame, Give thanks to Him in Jesus' name. 3 Oh, pray, my soul, lest thou shouldst wander Away from God and lose His rest; Pray that His voice from heaven yonder May find a hearing in thy breast, That thou, secure from sin and shame May'st lead a life in Jesus' name. 4 Though earthly hopes and joys may vanish And clouds may oft obscure the sun, My trust in Him I will not banish, But pray: O God, Thy will be done! I will His love and grace proclaim And live and die in Jesus' name. Topics: New Year Languages: English Tune Title: [Arise, my soul, this New Year's Morning]
