The day is gently sinking to a close
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Appears in 150 hymnals Topics: Abiding of Christ with Believers; Assurance; Christ Presence of; Evening; God Our Guide Lyrics: 1 The day is gently sinking to a close,
Fainter and yet more faint the sunlight glows:
O Brightness of Thy Father's glory, Thou
Eternal Light of Light, be with us now:
Where Thou art present darkness cannot be;
Midnight is glorious noon, O Lord, with Thee.
2 Our changeful lives are ebbing to an end;
Onward to darkness and to death we tend;
O Conqueror of the grave, be Thou our guide,
Be Thou our Light in death's dark eventide;
Then in our mortal hour will be no gloom,
No sting in death, no terror in the tomb.
3 Thou who in darkness walking didst appear
Upon the waves, and Thy disciples cheer,
Come, Lord, in lonesome days, when storms assail,
And earthly hopes and human succors fail;
When all is dark, may we behold Thee nigh,
And hear Thy voice: "Fear not, for it is I."
4 The weary world is mould'ring to decay,
Its glories wane, its pageants fade away;
In that last sunset, when the stars shall fall,
May we arise, awakened by Thy call,
With Thee, O Lord, forever to abide
In that blest day which has no eventide!
Amen. Used With Tune: CONWAY

Let Earth and Heaven Witness Now
Author: Benjamin Beddome Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 233 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Grace; Jesus Christ Guide and Leader Lyrics: 1 Let earth and heaven witness now,
before the Lord we speak;
to him we make our solemn vow,
a vow we dare not break,
2 that, long as life itself shall last,
ourselves to Christ we yield,
nor from his cause will we depart,
nor ever quit the field.
3 We trust not in our native strength,
but on his grace rely,
that with returning wants, the Lord
will all our need supply.
4 O guide our doubtful feet aright,
and keep us in thy ways,
and while we turn our vows to prayers,
turn thou our prayers to praise.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,280 hymnals Topics: God the Father Providence and Care; Anniversaries; God Eternal; Anniversaries; Descants; God Eternal; God Guide; New Year; Psalms; Changing Year Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home!
2 Under the shadow of thy throne
thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in thy sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night,
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all its years away,
they fly, forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guide while life shall last,
and our eternal home!
