En sombra o sol, Señor, conmigo sé. 4 No temo el mal si Tú conmigo vas; Al enemigo Tú lo vencerás. En medio de miseria y de dolor, Señor Jesús, sé Tú mi auxiliador. 5 Alza tu cruz en mi postrer visión, Traza la senda que me lleve a Sion; Tras las tinieblas surge y la luz. . . Conmigo en vida y muerte sé, Jesús. Amén. Used With Tune: EVENTIDE Text Sources: Traducción adaptada, 1935

Softly fades the twilight ray

Author: Dr. S. F. Smith, 1808-1895 Appears in 214 hymnals Topics: Night Approaching Lyrics: 1 Softly fades the twilight ray Of the holy Sabbath day; Gently as life's setting sun, When the Christian's course is run. 2 Night her solemn mantle spreads O'er the earth as daylight fades; All things tell of calm repose, At the holy Sabbath's close. 3 Peace is on the world abroad; 'Tis the holy peace of God, Symbol of the peace within, When the spirit rests from sin. 4 Still the Spirit lingers near, Where the evening worshipper Seeks communion with the skies, Pressing onward to the prize. 5 Saviour, may our Sabbaths be Days of joy and peace in Thee, Till in heaven our souls repose, Where the Sabbath ne'er shall close.

Author: Dr. H. Bonar, 1808-1889 Appears in 450 hymnals Topics: Night Approaching Lyrics: 1 Go labour on; spend and be spent, Thy joy to do the Father's will; It is the way the Master went, Should not the servant tread it still? 2 Go labour on; 'tis not for nought, Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain; Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not; The Master praises; what are men? 3 Go labour on, while it is day, The world's dark night is hastening on; Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away; It is not thus that souls are won. 4 Men die in darkness at thy side, Without a hope to cheer the tomb; Take up the torch and wave it wide, The torch that lights time's thickest gloom. 5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch, and pray; Be wise, the erring soul to win; Go forth into the world's highway, Compel the wanderer to come in. 6 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice; For toil comes rest, for exile home; Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight peal, "Behold, I come!"
