Hear my prayer, O Heavenly Father
Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Evening Hymns in general; Worship Family Lyrics: 1 Hear my prayer, O heavenly Father,
Ere I lay me down to sleep;
Bid Thy angels, pure and holy,
Round my bed their vigil keep.
2 Great my sins are, but Thy mercy
Far outweighs them ev'ry one;
Down before Thy cross I cast them,
Trusting in Thy help alone.
3 Keep me, through this night of peril,
Underneath its boundless shade;
Take me to Thy rest, I pray Thee,
When my pilgrimage is made!
4 None shall measure out Thy patience
By the span of human thought;
None shall bound the tender mercies
Which Thy holy Son hath wrought.
5 Pardon all my past transgressions;
Give me strength for days to come;,
Guide and guard me with Thy blessing,
Till Thine angels bid me home!
Hear my prayer, O Heavenly Father
Softly now the light of day
Appears in 891 hymnals Topics: Evening Hymns in general; Worship Family 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
Nought escapes without, within,
Pardon each infirmity,
Open fault, and secret sin.
3 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man's infirmity;
Then, from Thine eternal throne,
Jesus, look with pitying eye.
4 Soon, for me, the light of day
Shall for ever pass away:
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee.
Softly now the light of day
Great God! to Thee my evening song
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 286 hymnals Topics: Evening Hymns in general; Worship Family Lyrics: 1 Great God! to Thee my evening song,
With humble gratitude I raise:
Oh, let Thy mercy tune my tongue,
And fill my heart with lively praise.
2 My days, unclouded as they pass,
And ev'ry gently rolling hour,
Are monuments of wondrous grace,
And witness to Thy love and power.
3 And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart,
Too oft regardless of Thy love,
Ungrateful, can from Thee depart,
And from the path of duty rove.
4 Seal my forgiveness in the blood
Of Christ, my Lord; His Name alone
I plead for pardon, gracious God,
And kind acceptance at Thy throne.
5 With hope in Him mine eyelids close,
With sleep refresh my feeble frame;
Safe in Thy care may I repose,
And wake with praises to Thy Name.
Great God! to Thee my evening song
Glory to Thee, my God, this night
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,057 hymnals Topics: Evening Hymns in general; Worship Family Lyrics: 1 Glory to Thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, oh, keep me, King of kings,
Under Thine own almighty wings.
2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son,
The ills that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
With joy behold the judgement-day.
4 Lord, let my soul for ever share
The bliss of Thy paternal care;
'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above,
To see Thy face and sing Thy love.
5 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Glory to Thee, my God, this night
Saviour, breathe an ev'ning blessing
Appears in 860 hymnals Topics: Evening Hymns in general; Worship Family Lyrics: 1 Saviour, breathe an ev'ning blessing,
Ere repose our spirits seal;
Sin and want we come confessing,
Thou canst save, and Thou canst heal;
Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrow past us fly,
Angel-guards from Thee surround us,
We are safe if Thou art nigh.
2 Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou art He who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be;
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.
Saviour, breathe an ev'ning blessing
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 660 hymnals Topics: Evening Hymns in general; Worship Family Lyrics: 1 Thus far the Lord has led me on;
Thus far His power prolongs my days:
And ev'ry ev'ning shall make known
Some fresh memorial of His grace.
2 Much of my time has run to waste,
And I, perhaps, am near my home;
But He forgives my follies past,
And strength supplies for days to come.
3 I lay my body down to sleep;
Peace is the pillow for my head:
His ever-watchful eye will keep
Its constant guard around my bed.
4 Faith in His name forbids my fear;
Oh, may Thy presence ne’er depart!
And in the morning may I bear
Thy loving-kindness on my heart!
Thus far the Lord has led me on
The day is past and gone

The ev'ning shades appear,
Oh, may I ever keep in mind
The night of death draws near.
2 Lord, keep me safe this night,
Secure from all my fears;
May angels guard me while I sleep,
Till morning light appears.
3 And when I early rise,
To view th'unwearied sun,
May I set out to win the prize,
And after glory run.
4 That when my days are past,
And I from time remove,
Lord, I may in Thy bosom rest,
The bosom of Thy love.
The day is past and gone
Inspirer and Hearer of prayer
Appears in 183 hymnals Topics: Evening Hymns in general; Worship Family Lyrics: 1 Inspirer and Hearer of prayer,
Thou Shepherd and Guardian of Thine,
My all to Thy covenant care
I, sleeping or waking, resign.
2 If Thou art my Shield and my Sun,
The night is no darkness to me;
And fast as my minutes roll on,
They bring me but nearer to Thee.
3 A sovereign Protector I have,
Unseen, yet forever at hand;
Unchangeably faithful to save,
Almighty to rule and command.
4 His smiles and His comforts abound,
His grace, as the dew, shall descend;
And walls of salvation surround
The soul He delights to defend.
Inspirer and Hearer of prayer
Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,477 hymnals Topics: Abiding of Christ with Believers; Christ abiding with us; Evening Hymns in general; Worship Family Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear,
It is not night if Thou be near;
Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise,
To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.
2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought--how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour's breast.
3 Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.
4 Be near to bless me when I wake
Ere through the world our way I take;
Abide with me till in Thy love
I lose myself in heaven above.
Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear
Now, from the altar of our hearts

Let incense-flames arise;
Assist us, Lord, to offer up
Our ev'ning sacrifice.
2 Awake, our love, awake our joy;
Awake, our hearts and tongue:
Sleep not when mercies loudly call,
Break forth into a song.
3 Minutes and mercies multiplied
Have made up all this day;
Minutes came quick, but mercies were
More fleet and free than they.
4 New time, new favors, and new joys,
Do a new song require;
Till we shall praise Thee as we would,
Accept our heart's desire.
Now, from the altar of our hearts
