And Now The Sun Hath Sunk to Rest

Author: J. H. K. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And now the sun hath sunk to rest, Again we bend the knee And meekly lift our ev'ning tho'ts, O God and King, to Thee. 2 To Thee, whom seraph hosts adore, Whom friends believe and fear, Whose mercy seat, in skies above, To contrite hearts is near. 3 Drive evil tho'ts and dreams afar, And, waking or asleep, May heav'nly peace, Thy peace, O God, Thro' Christ our bosoms keep. 4 Let mercy fall on us like dew, And angel pinions play Around us, while the hours of night In silence pass away. 5 Each night beside the sable gate Of death the sleeper lies, And if we pass its portals, Lord, Let Eden greet our eyes. Amen. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: ARLINGTON Text Sources: Probably from the Latin; Tr.: Churchman, 1858
