Father, the Watches of the Night Are O'er

Author: Anonymous Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Father, the watches of the night are o’er; To light and life the soul has ris’n once more; Blessèd be Thou, who, through the helpless hours, Hast kept in deepest peace her slumbering powers. 2. Father, the watches of the day are here; More than from those of night have we to fear; By rude cares troubled, by temptations pressed, Through the day watches, Father, give us rest! Used With Tune: SKARA Text Sources: Disciples' Hymn Book, possibly 1855

In Boundless Mercy

Author: Emanuel Swedenborg, 1688-1772 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 39 hymnals First Line: In boundless mercy, gracious Lord, appear Lyrics: 1. In boundless mercy, gracious Lord, appear, Darkness dispel, the humble mourner cheer; Vain thoughts remove, melt down the flinty heart, Draw every soul to choose the better part. 2. Thy presence fills the universal space, Thy grace appears to all the human race, Oh! visit us with light and life divine, Fill every soul, for every soul is Thine. 3. Thou, blessèd Jesus, art my Lord, my Love: Thou art my King: from Thee I would not move, Hence earthly charms, far, far, from me depart, Nor seek to draw from my dear Lord my heart. 4. That uncreated beauty, which has gained My ravished heart, has all my glory stained: Thy loveliness my soul has prepossessed, And left no room for any other guest. Used With Tune: SKARA
