Saviour, breathe an evening blessing

Author: James Edmeston; Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 849 hymnals Lyrics: Savior, breathe an evening blessing, Ere repose our spirits seal; Sin and want we come confessing; Thou canst save, and thou canst heal. Though the night be dark and dreary, Darkness cannot hide from thee; Thou art he who, never weary, Watchest where thy people be. Though destruction walk around us, Though the arrows past us fly, Angel-guards from thee surround us; We are safe, if thou art nigh. Be thou nigh, should death o'ertake us; Jesus, then our refuge be, And in Paradise awake us, There to rest in peace with thee. Father, to thy holy keeping Humbly we ourselves resign; Savior, who hast slept our sleeping, Make our slumbers pure as thine; Blessed Spirit, brooding o'er us, Chase the darkness of our night, Till the perfect day before us Breaks in everlasting light. Amen. Topics: Daily Prayer Evening Used With Tune: VESPER HYMN

See the Paraclete Descending

Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See the Paraclete descending, Burning with celestial fire; Grace and truth on him attending, Men with heav'nly love inspire. Chorus: Let us, Allleluias singing, Offer Him our grateful lays. He all heav'nly graces bringing, Merits everlasting praise. 3 Men in every danger fearing, Now the greatest dangers scorn; Amidst tortures persevering, Show themselves in Christ new-born. [Chorus] 4 Fishermen, by Thee instructed, Jesus, to the world proclaim; Infants, by Thy grace conducted, Rather die than slight His name. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [See the Paraclete descending]

Small Church Music

Editors: James Edmeston Description: The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid 1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format. Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per month. The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse. Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs. Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted.
