Now Sounding Over Hills and Lea
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now sounding over hills and lea,
I hear the pealing bells;
My Sunday school is calling me,
My heart with gladness fills.
2 Teach me to know Thee, dearest Lord,
And walk upon Thy way;
Take me in hand, lest from Thy Word
My feet should go astray.
3 Thou knowest from afar so well
What is within my soul,
But not a thought therein shall dwell
That Thou dost not control.
4 O Father, plant in me Thy seed
And set me free from sin;
But root Thou up each deadly weed
That swiftly grows within.
5 My purpose is to please but Thee
In spirit, soul, and mind,
I pray Thee, Father, lead Thou me
That I the way may find.
6 While over lea and dale and hills
The bells their peal prolong,
My heart the joy from heaven fills,
I lift to God my song.

Now Sounding Over Hills and Lea
Now spread are evening’s shadows
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Now spread are evening's shadows Lyrics:
Now spread are evening’s shadows,
O’er forests, towns, and meadows,
And sleepeth ev’ry eye;
Awake my pow’rs and sing ye,
And pray’r and praises bring ye,
That your Creator please on high!
O Sun! where art thou vanish’d?
The night thy light hath banish’d,
The night of day the foe;
Go then, for now appeareth
Another Sun and cheereth
My heart—’tis Jesus Christ, my joy!
We’ve seen the day’s declining,
The golden stars are shining
In yonder dark-blue sky.
There shall I be for ever
When God doth me deliver,
From this low vale of misery.
To rest the body hasteth,
Itself of clothes divesteth,
Type of mortality!
I’ll put it off, and o’er me
Christ will the robe of glory
Throw, and of immortality!
Head, hands, and feet so tirèd
Are glad the day’s expirèd,
That work comes to an end;
My heart be fill’d with gladness
That God from all earth’s sadness,
And from sin’s toil relief will send.
Lie down, my members tirèd
Upon your couch desirèd,
Lie down my wearied head!
A day and hour is nearing
They’ll be for you preparing
Beneath the sod, a quiet bed.
Mine eyes scarce ope are keeping,
A moment—I’ll be sleeping,
Where’s body then and soul?
In grace Thy care then make me,
May evil ne’er o’ertake me,
Thou Shepherd Lord of Israel!
O Jesus, be my cover!
And spread both Thy wings over
Thy child, and shield Thou me!
Though Satan would devour me,
Let angels ever o’er me
Sing, “This child shall uninjur’d be!”
And you, my well belovèd!
Shall by no ill be movèd,
No danger shall betide.
God peaceful slumbers send you,
With golden arms defend you,
Send guardian angels to your side!

Now Thank We All Our God
Author: Martin Rinkart; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 13.13.12.12 Appears in 688 hymnals First Line: Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices Lyrics: 1 Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done, in Whom this world rejoices;
Who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.
2 Oh, may this bounteous God through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed;
And guard us through all ills in this world, till the next!
3 All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given,
The Son and Him Who reigns with Them in highest Heaven;
The one eternal God, Whom earth and Heav’n adore;
For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.

Now Thank We All Our God (Bushfire Memorial Hymn)
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Now thank we all our God Lyrics: ` Now thank we all our God
for lives beloved and cherished,
the brave who faced the flames,
the young and old who perished,
for those who fight the fires
that sear our country's soul,
for all who give relief
to comfort and make whole.
1 No tears can stem this grief
through outback, town or city,
yet as disaster strikes,
we share a common pity,
where hearts and hands can help
to build or recreate,
our nation stands as one
to mourn our people's fate.
3 Our lives are held in trust,
O God of our believing,
and we who still are spared,
owe duty to the grieving,
for everyone is kin
when all can feel this pain,
as families are gone
and shattered ones remain.
4 Now thank we all our God
for courage meeting danger,
when selfless spirits fight
for mate or helpless stranger,
when wind and bushfire flare
and terror grips our faith,
compassion keeps us strong,
through tragedy and death.
