Father, By Thy Love And Power

Author: Joseph Anstice Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9992 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Father, by Thy love and power Comes again the evening hour; Light has vanished, labors cease, Weary creatures rest in peace; Thou, whose genial dews distill On the lowliest weed that grows Father, guard our couch from ill, Lull Thy children to repose, We to Thee ourselves resign; Let our latest thoughts be Thine. 2 Savior, to Thy Father bear This our feeble evening prayer; Thou hast seen how oft today We, like sheep, have gone astray; Worldly thoughts, and thoughts of pride, Wishes to Thy cross untrue, Secret faults and undescried, Meet Thy spirit-piercing view; Blessèd Savior, yet, through Thee, Grant that we may pardoned be. 3 Holy Spirit, breath of balm Fall on us in evening’s calm; Yet a while, before we sleep, We with Thee will vigils keep; Lead us on our sins to muse, Give us truest penitence; Then the love of God infuse, Breathing humble confidence; Melt our spirits, mold our will, Soften, strengthen, comfort still. 4 Blessèd Trinity, be near, Through the hours of darkness drear; Then, when shrinks the lonely heart, Thou more clearly present art; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Watch o’er our defenseless heads; Let Thy angels’ guardian host Keep all evil from our beds, Till the flood of morning rays Wake us to a song of praise.

The evening hour

Hymnal: Laudes Domini #113 (1884) First Line: Father, by thy love and power Lyrics: 1 Father, by thy love and power, Comes again the evening hour: Light has vanished, labors cease, Weary creatures rest in peace; Thou, whose genial dews distil On the lowliest weed that grows, Father, guard our couch from ill, Grant thy children to repose: We to thee ourselves resign, Let our latest thoughts be thine. 2 Saviour, to thy Father bear This our feeble evening prayer: Thou hast seen how oft to-day We like sheep have gone astray; Worldly thoughts and thoughts of pride, Wishes to thy cross untrue, Secret faults and undescried Meet thy spirit-piercing view; Blessèd Saviour, yet through thee Pray that we may pardoned be. 3 Holy Spirit, breath of balm, Fall on us in evening’s calm; Yet awhile, before we sleep, We with thee will vigils keep. Lead us on our sins to muse, Give us truest penitence; Then the love of God infuse, Breathing humble confidence; Melt our spirits, mold our will, Soften, strengthen, comfort still. 4 Blessèd Trinity, be near Through the hours of darkness drear; Then, when shrinks the lonely heart, Thou, O God, most present art. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Watch o’er our defenceless head; Let thy angels’ guardian host Keep all evil from our bed; Till the flood of morning rays Wake us to a song of praise.

Joseph Haydn

1732 - 1809 Person Name: Francis Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) Composer of "HALLE" in Songs of Praise Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music. Bert Polman
