Drawn Is The Curtain Of The Night
Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Drawn is the curtain of the night,
Oh! ’tis the sacred hour of rest;
Sweet hour, I hail Thee with delight,
Thrice welcome to my weary breast.
2 Oh, God to Thee, my fervent prayer,
I offer, kneeling at Thy feet;
Tho’ humbly breathed, oh! deign to hear—
Smile on me from the mercy seat.
3 While angels round, their watches keep,
Whose harps Thy praise unceasing swell,
"I lay me down in peace, and sleep,"
For Thou in safety mak’st me dwell.
4 Drawn is the curtain of the night—
Thou bid’st creation silent be—
And now, with holy, calm delight,
Father, I would commune with Thee.
5 Shepherd of Israel, deign to keep,
And guard my soul from every ill;
Thus will I lay me down, and sleep,
For Thou in safety mak’st me dwell. Used With Tune: ABENDS Text Sources: The Blind Girl, and Other Poems (New York: Wiley & Putnam, 1844)

Pour Down Thy Spirit
Author: William Romanis Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Pour down Thy Spirit from above Lyrics: 1. Pour down Thy Spirit from above,
And bid all strife and discord cease;
Joint heart to heart in mutual love,
O reign among us, Prince of Peace.
2. If in the souls where love should be
Arise the storms of fierce self-will,
Calm Thou that troubled, angry sea,
Speak to the tempest, Peace, be still.
3. If rude reproach be o’er us flung,
And slander wound as with a sword,
Rule Thou th’unruly answering tongue,
And silence every vengeful word.
4. Whene’er in this wild world we meet,
Unkindly deeds that anger move,
Teach us forgiveness, triumph sweet,
To conquer evil will with love.
5. In every land, in every home,
In every heart let love increase;
Let love proclaim Thy kingdom come,
O reign among us, Prince of Peace. Used With Tune: ABENDS Text Sources: Wigston Magna School Hymns, 1878

Judge Me, O Lord, and Prove My Ways
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Judge me, O Lord, and prove my ways,
And try my reins, and try my heart;
My faith upon Thy promise stays,
Nor from Thy law my feet depart.
2. I hate to walk, I hate to sit,
With men of vanity and lies;
The scoffer and the hypocrite
Are the abhorrence of mine eyes.
3. Amongst the saints will I appear
With hands well washed in innocence;
But when I stand before Thy bar,
The blood of Christ is my defense.
4. I love Thy habitation, Lord,
The temple where Thine honors dwell;
There shall I hear Thine holy Word,
And there Thy works of wonder tell.
5. Let not my soul be joined at last
With men of treachery and blood,
Since I my days on earth have passed
Among the saints, and near my God. Used With Tune: ABENDS Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Dearest of Names, Our Lord, Our King
Author: Samuel Medley, 1738-1799 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Dearest of Names, our Lord, our king! Lyrics: 1. Dearest of names, our Lord, our king!
Jesus, Thy praise we humbly sing;
In cheerful songs will spend our breath,
And in Thee triumph over death.
2. Death is no more among our foes,
Since Christ the mighty conqueror rose;
Both power and sting the Savior broke,
He died, and gave the finished stroke.
3. Saints die, and we should gently weep;
Sweetly in Jesus’ arms they sleep;
Far from this world of sin and woe,
Nor sin, nor pain, nor grief they know.
4. Death no terrific foe appears,
An angel’s lovely form he wears;
A friendly messenger he proves
To every soul whom Jesus loves.
5. Death is a sleep; and O, how sweet,
To souls prepared its stroke to meet!
Their dying beds, their graves are blessed,
For all to them is peace and rest.
6. Their bodies sleep, their souls take wing,
Uprise to Heaven, and there they sing
With joy, before the Savior’s face
Triumphant in victorious grace.
7. Soon shall the earth’s remotest bound
Feel the archangel’s trumpet sound;
Then shall the graves’ dark caverns shake,
And joyful, all the saints shall wake.
8. Bodies and souls shall then unite,
Arrayed in glory strong and bright;
And all His saints will Jesus bring,
His face to see, His love to sing.
9. O, may I live with Jesus nigh,
And sleep in Jesus when I die!
Then joyful, when from death I wake,
I shall eternal bliss partake Used With Tune: ABENDS

Psalm 97
Author: Harriet Auber Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Jehovah reigns! O Earth, rejoice Lyrics: 1. Jehovah reigns! O Earth, rejoice;
Ye ransomed isles, exalt your voice;
Make ev'ry hill and vale around,
Responsive to the welcome sound.
2. Tho' far remov'd from mortal eye,
He reigns in glorious majesty;
Himself in darkened clouds concealed,
His truth, His justice stands revealed.
3. Avenging lightning from the gloom,
His bold, presumptuous foes consume;
But mercy's voice, in gentlest strains,
Tells ev'ry clime, Jehovah reigns.
4. Yes, Jesus reigns! the gospel's light
Beams with mild radiance on our sight;
And fallen souls, redeemed, forgiv'n,
May lift their hearts, his hopes to Heav'n.
5. Oh, then obey his sacred Word,
All ye who love and fear the Lord:
Go, publish through his wide domains
The glorious truth—Jehovah reigns! Topics: Resurrection [Ascension] Scripture: Psalm 97 Used With Tune: ABENDS
