At Dismission

Author: Joseph Hart Appears in 304 hymnals First Line: Once more, before we part Lyrics: 1 Once more, before we part, Oh, bless the Saviour's name! Let every tongue and every heart Adore and praise the same. 2 Lord, in thy grace we came, That blessing still impart; We met in Jesus' sacred name, In Jesus' name we part. 3 Still on thy holy word Help us to feed, and grow, Still to go on to know the Lord, And practice what we know. 4 Now, Lord, before we part, Help us to bless thy name; Let every tongue and every heart Adore and praise the same.

Home Hymn

Author: John Leland Appears in 597 hymnals First Line: The day is past and gone Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone, The evening shades appear; Oh, may we all remember well The night of death draws near! 2 We lay our garments by, Upon our beds to rest; So death will soon disrobe us all Of what we here possessed. 3 Lord, keep us safe this night, Secure from all our fears; May angels guard us while we sleep, Till morning light appears. 4 And when we early rise, And view the unwearied sun, May we set out to win the prize, And after glory run. 5 And when our days are past, And we from time remove, Oh, may we in thy bosom rest, The bosom of thy love!

Evening

Author: G. W. Doane Appears in 880 hymnals First Line: Softly now the light of day 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 for ever 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.

Evening blessing

Author: James Edmeston Appears in 853 hymnals First Line: Saviour, breathe an evening blessing 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. Though destruction walk around us, Though the arrow near 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, Watcheth 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.

Psalm 19

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 594 hymnals First Line: The heavens declare thy glory, Lord! Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare thy glory, Lord! In every star thy wisdom shines; But, when our eyes behold thy word, We read thy name in fairer lines. 2 The rolling sun, the changing light, And nights and days thy power confess; But the blest volume thou hast writ Reveals thy justice and thy grace. 3 Sun, moon, and stars convey thy praise Round the whole earth, and never stand; So, when thy truth began its race, It touched and glanced on every land. 4 Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest, Till through the world thy truth has run, Till Christ has all the nations blessed, That see the light, or feel the sun.

The Lord, our God, is full of might

Author: Henry Kirke White Appears in 229 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord, our God, is full of might, The winds obey his will; He speaks, and in his heavenly height, The rolling sun stands still. 2 Rebel, ye waves, and o'er the land With threatening aspect roar; The Lord uplifts his awful hand, And chains you to the shore. 3 Howl, winds of night, your force combine; Without his high behest, Ye shall not, in the mountain pine, Disturb the sparrow's nest. 4 His voice sublime is heard afar, In distant peals it dies; He yokes the whirlwind to his car, And sweeps the howling skies. 5 Ye nations, bend in reverence bend; Ye monarchs, wait his nod, And bid the choral song ascend To celebrate your God.

Providence

Author: Helen M. Williams Appears in 684 hymnals First Line: While thee I seek, protecting Power! Lyrics: 1 And while I seek, protecting Power! Be my vain wishes stilled; And may this consecrated hour With better hopes be filled; Thy love the power of thought bestowed; To thee my thoughts would soar: Thy mercy o'er my life has flowed; That mercy I adore. 2 In each event of life how clear Thy ruling hand I see! Each blessing to my soul more dear Because conferred by thee. In every joy that crowns my days, In every pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise Or seek relief in prayer. 3 When gladness wings my favored hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill; Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet thy will. My lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storm shall see; My steadfast heart shall know no fear; That heart will rest on thee.

God's Welcome

Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 902 hymnals First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in his justice, Which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in his blood. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There is no place where earth's failings Have such kindly judgment given. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple. We should take him at his word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of the Lord.

Eternity

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 322 hymnals First Line: Great God! how infinite art thou! Lyrics: 1 Great God! how infinite art thou! What worthless worms are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. 2 Thy throne eternal ages stood, Ere seas or stars were made; Thou art the ever-living God, Were all the nations dead. 3 Eternally, with all its years, Stands present in thy view; To thee there's nothing old appears Great God! there's nothing new. 4 Our lives through various scenes are drawn, And vexed with trifling cares; While thine eternal thought moves on Thine undisturbed affairs. 5 Great God! how infinite art thou! What worthless worms are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee.
