Now God Be With Us, For The Night Is Closing

Author: Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: ALH1930 #571 (1930) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Now God be with us, for the night is closing; Both 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 Master, 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; May we serve Thee in all that we are doing, Thy praise pursuing. 4 Thro' Thy Beloved 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: Evening Languages: English Tune Title: INTEGER VITAE

Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadows

Author: Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: ALH1930 #572 (1930) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadows The woodlands, fields and meadows, The world in slumber lies; But thou, my soul, awake thee, To song and prayer betake thee, Let praise to thy Creator rise. 2 The radiant sun hath vanished, Its golden rays are banished By night, the foe of day; But Christ, the Sun of gladness, Dispelling all my sadness, Within my heart holds constant sway. 3 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 prove and true. 4 My body lies divested Of garments that have rested Upon this form of clay. But I in rapture ponder How Christ shall clothe me yonder With glory that endures for aye. 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. 6 My loved ones, rest securely, For God will keep you surely From pain and perils sore. Sweet slumbers may He send you, And may His hosts defend you With golden weapons evermore. Topics: Evening Languages: English Tune Title: INNSPRUCK

Doane Hymnal: ALH1930 #573 (1930) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day Fades upon my sight away; Free from care, from labor free, Lord, I would commune with Thee. 2 Thou, whose all-pervading eye Naught escapes, without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault and secret sin. 3 Soon for me the light of day Shall forever pass away; Then from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee. 4 Thou, who sinless, yet hast known All of man's infirmity, Then from Thine eternal throne, Jesus, look with pitying eye.

Amen. Topics: Evening Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON

Rist Hymnal: ALH1930 #579 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Soul of mine, to God awaking, And ye senses, ev'ry one, Come, your quiet haunts forsaking, Tell what God for me has done; He through this entire day Has been with me on my way, To my many wants attending And all dangers from me fending. 2 Praise and thanks to Thee I render, Father Thou of mercies great. Thou hast been my strong Defender, Never shall Thy love abate. Thou hast shielded me from woe, Lent me strength and foiled the foe, So that I, Thy help beholding, Rest secure in Thine enfolding. 3 If from Thee I have departed, I return again to Thee, Knowing Thou art tender-hearted, Since Thy Son atoned for me. I cannot deny my guilt, But for me His blood was spilt, And Thy grace, all sin exceeding, Grants forgiveness at His pleading. 4 Grant that I in peace may slumber, Finding sweet and quiet rest. Let no cares my soul encumber, Keep it by Thy presence blest. Mind and body, child and wife, All my goods and all my life, Friends and foes, alike befriended, Be this night to Thee commended. 5 O immortal God, endue me With the gifts for which I ask. Jesus, lest some ill pursue me, Prosper me in ev'ry task. Holy Spirit, Comfort, Friend, On whose counsel I depend, Hearken to my earnest pleading; Amen, Thou my prayer art heeding.
