How oft the day of God returns
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #308 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Catechism Lyrics: 1 How oft the day of God returns
To shed its quick'ning beams;
And yet how slow devotion burns,
How languid are its flames.

Our sins, O Lord, forgive;
We would be like Thy saints above,
And praise Thee while we live.
3 Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope,
And fit us to ascend
Where the assembly ne'er breaks up,
Thy worship ne'er shall end;
4 When we shall with the ransomed throng,
The Savior's praise proclaim,
And give in an eternal song
All glory to His name. Languages: English

How oft the day of God returns
Now all the woods are sleeping
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #310 (1880) Topics: The Catechism Lyrics: 1 Now all the woods are sleeping,
And night and stillness creeping
O’er city, man, and beast;
But thou, my heart, awake thee,
To prayer awhile betake thee,
And praise Thy Maker ere thou rest.
2 O sun! where art thou vanished?
The night thy light hath banished--
The ancient foe, the night;
God then for now appeareth
Another Sun, and cheereth
My heart--'tis Jesus Christ, my Light!
3 The last faint beam is going,
The golden stars are glowing
In yonder dark-blue deep;
Such is the glory given,
When called of God to heaven,
On earth no more we pine and weep.
4 To rest the body hasteth,
Itself of clothes divesteth,
Type of mortality!
I'll put it off, and o'er me
Christ throw the robe of glory,
And blissful immortality!
5 Head, hands, and feet so tired
Are glad the day's expired,
That work comes to an end;
My heart, be filled with gladness
That God from all earth's sadness,
And from sin's toil relief will send.
6 Ye aching limbs! now rest you,
For toil hath sore oppressed you,
Lie down, my weary head;
A sleep shall once o'ertake you
From which earth ne'er shall wake you,
Within a cold and narrow bed.
7 Mine eyes scarce ope are keeping,
A moment, I'll be sleeping,
Soul, body,--fare ye well!
In grace Thy care then make them
May evil ne'er o'ertake them,
thou Eye and Ward of Israel.
8 O Jesus, be my Cover!
And both Thy wings spread over
Thy child, and shield Thou me!
Though Satan would devour me,
Let angels ever o'er me
Sing, "This child shall uninjured be!"
9 My loved ones, rest securely,--
From every evil surely
Our God will guard your heads;
And happy slumbers send you,
And bid His hosts attend you,
And golden-armed watch o'er your beds.

Now all the woods are sleeping
Since now the day hath reached its close
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #311 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Catechism Lyrics: 1 Since now the day hath reached its close,
And sunlight shines no more,
In sleep the toil-worn find repose,
And all who wept before.
2 But Thou, my Lord, no rest dost know,
No slumber dims Thy sight,
Thou hatest darkness as Thy foe,
Since Thou Thyself art light.
3 O Lord, I pray, remember me
Throughout the shades of night,
And grant to me most graciously
The shield of Thy great might.
4 And foil Thou Satan's purpose fell
Through Thy swift angel-arm,
Then free from care, I'll rest me well
And safe from every harm.
5 I feel indeed through guilt undone,
It cried aloud to Thee:
But yet, the mercy from Thy Son
Hath full atoned for me.
6 Him I present Thee as my Bail,
While suppliant at Thy feet,
With such assurance I'll not fail
Before Thy judgement-seat.
7 Away, vain, idle thoughts depart!
Roam not my soul abroad;
For now I build within my heart
A temple to my God.
8 And hereupon my eyes I close,
And fall asleep heart-glad;
My God doth watch o'er my repose,
Why should my heart be sad?
9 And thus I live and die to Thee,
Thou Sabaoth strong, indeed!
In life and death Thou helpest me
From every fear and need.
10 Should this night prove the last for me
In this dark vale of tears,
Then lead me, Lord, in heaven to Thee
And my elect compeers. Languages: English

Teach us that its light is Thine!
