Lord, for To-morrow and its Needs

Author: Ernest R. Wilberforce Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E137 (1913) Meter: 8.4.8.4 D Lyrics: 1 Lord, for to-morrow and its needs I do not pray; Keep me, my God, from stain of sin Just for today. Help me to labor earnestly, And duly pray; Let me be kind in word and deed, Father, today 2 Let me no wrong or idle word Unthinking say; Set Thou a seal upon my lips Through all today. Let me in season, Lord, be grave, In season gay; Let me the faithful to Thy grace, Dear Lord, today 3 And if, to-day, this life of mine Should ebb away, Give me Thy sacrament divine, Father, today. So for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray; Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, Thro' each today. Topics: Care and Guidance Languages: English Tune Title: VINCENT

The sun declines; o'er land and sea

Author: Robert Walmsley Hymnal: The Hymnal #40 (1950) Meter: 8.4.8.4 D Lyrics: 1 The sun declines; o’er land and sea Creeps on the night; The twinkling stars come one by one To shed their light; With Thee there is no darkness, Lord; With us abide, And ’neath Thy wings we rest secure This eventide. 2 Forgive the wrong this day we’ve done, Or thought, or said; Each moment with its good or ill To Thee has fled; O Father, in Thy mercy great Will we confide; Thy benediction now bestow This eventide. Amen.
