Now the shades of Night are gone

Appears in 255 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now the shades of night are gone; Now the morning light is come; Lord, may we be thine today, Drive the shades of sin away. 2 Fill our souls with heavenly light, Banish doubt and clear our sight; In thy service, Lord to-day, May we labour, watch and pray. 3 Keep our haughty passions bound; Save us from our foes around; Going out and coming in Keep us safe from ev'ry sin. 4 When our work of life is past, O receive us then at last; Night and sin will be no more, When we reach the heavenly shore. Used With Tune: [Now the shades of night are gone]

Buried In Shadows Of The Night

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 87 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Buried in shadows of the night, We lie till Christ restores the light; Wisdom descends to heal the blind, And chase the darkness of the mind. 2 Our guilty souls are drowned in tears, Till His atoning blood appears; Then we awake from deep distress, And sing, The Lord, our righteousness. 3 Our very frame is mixed with sin, His Spirit makes our natures clean; Such virtues from His sufferings flow, At once to cleanse, and pardon, too. 4 Jesus beholds where Satan reigns, Binding his slaves in heavy chains; He sets the prisoners free, and breaks, The iron bondage from our necks. 5 Poor helpless worms in Thee possess Grace, wisdom, power, and righteousness; Thou art our mighty All, and we Give our whole selves, O Lord, to Thee. Used With Tune: ST CRISPIN Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Book I, 1707

'Twas in the Watches of the Night

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1. ’Twas in the watches of the night I thought upon Thy power, I kept Thy lovely face in sight amidst the darkest hour. My flesh lay resting on my bed, my soul arose on high: My God, my life my hope, I said, bring Thy salvation nigh. 2. My spirit labors up Thine hill, and climbs the heav’nly road; But Thy right hand upholds me still, while I pursue my God. Thy mercy stretches o’er my head the shadow of Thy wings; My heart rejoices in Thine aid, my tongue awakes and sings. 3. But the destroyers of my peace shall fret and rage in vain; The tempter shall for ever cease, and all my sins be slain. Thy sword shall give my foes to death, and send them down to dwell, In the dark caverns of the earth, or to the depths of hell. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
