Saviour, breathe an evening blessing

Author: J. Edmeston, 1791-1867 Appears in 860 hymnals Topics: Darkness Natural Lyrics: 1 Saviour, breathe an evening blessing, Ere repose our spirits seal; Sin and want we come confessing; Thou canst save and Thou canst heal. 2 Though destruction walk around us, Though the arrows past us fly, Angel-guards from Thee surround us; We are safe, if Thou art nigh. 3 Though the night be dark and dreary, Darkness cannot hide from Thee; Thou art He who, never weary, Watchest where Thy people be. 4 Should swift death this night o'ertake us, And our couch become our tomb, May the morn in heaven awake us, Clad in light and deathless bloom. Used With Tune: EVENING PRAYER

Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, one and all, to be forgiven; 4 so when next he comes in glory and the world is wrapped in fear, he will shield us with his mercy and with words of love draw near. 5 Honor, glory, might, dominion to the Father and the Son, with the everliving Spirit while eternal ages run.

Pardoning Grace

Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Patience in darkness; Patience in darkness First Line: Out of the deeps of long distress Lyrics: 1 Out of the deeps of long distress, The borders of despair, I sent my cries to seek thy grace, My groans to move thine ear. 2 Great God, should thy severer eye, And thine impartial hand, Mark and revenge iniquity, No mortal flesh could stand. 3 But there are pardons with my God, For crimes of high degree! Thy Son has bought them with his blood, To draw us near to thee. 4 [I wait for thy salvation, Lord, With strong desires I wait; My soul, invited by thy word Stands watching at thy gate.] 5 [Just as the guards that keep the night Long for the morning skies, Watch the first beams of breaking light, And meet them with their eyes. 6 So waits my soul to see thy grace And more intent than they, Meets the first openings of thy face, And finds a brighter day.] 7 Then in the Lord let Israel trust, Let Israel seek his face; The Lord is good as well as just, And plenteous is his grace. 8 There’s full redemption at his throne, For sinners long enslav'd; The great Redeemer is his son: And Israel shall be saved. Scripture: Psalm 130

Celebrate this day of days! Christ is risen! Hush in wonder; all creation is amazed. In the desert all surrounding, see, a spreading tree has grown. Healing leaves of grace abounding bring a taste of love unknown. 2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits from the caverns of despair. Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love can do and dare. Drink the wine of resurrection, not a servant, but a friend. Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall never end. 3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven nevermore shall be the same. Break the bread of new creation where the world is still in pain. Tell its grim demonic chorus: “Christ is risen! Get you gone!” God the First and Last is with us. Sing hosanna, everyone!
