Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826; William Mercer, 1811-1873; Richard Whately, 1787-1863 Hymnal: RitualSong (2nd ed.) #966 (2016) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 God, who made the earth and heaven, Darkness and light: You the day for work have given, For rest the night. May your angel guards defend us, Slumber sweet your mercy send us, Holy dreams and hopes attend us All through the night. 2 And when morn again shall call us To run life's way, May we still, whate'er befall us, Your will obey. From the pow'r of evil hide us, In the narrow pathway guide us, Never be your smile denied us All through the day. 3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, And, when we die, May we in your mighty keeping All peaceful lie. When the last dread call shall wake us, Then, O Lord, do not forsake us, But to reign in glory take us With you on high. 4 Holy Father, throned in heaven, All holy Son, Holy Spirit, freely given, Blest Three-in-One: Grant us grace, we now implore you, Till we lay our crowns before you, And in worthier strains adore you While ages run.

Mary Dana Shindler

1810 - 1883 Person Name: Mary Stanley Bunce Dana Author of "Shed not a tear o'er your friend's early bier" in The Sacred Harp Shindler, Mary Stanley Bunce, née Palmer, better known as Mrs. Dana, was born in Beaufort, South Carolina, Feb. 15, 1810. In 1835 she was married to Charles E. Dana, of New York, and removed with him to Bloomington, now Muscatine, Iowa, in 1838. Mr. Dana died in 1839, and Mrs. Dana returned to South Carolina. Subsequently she was married to the Rev. Robert D. Shindler, who was Professor in Shelby College, Kentucky, in 1851, and afterwards in Texas. Mrs. Shindler, originally a Presbyterian, was for some time an Unitarian; but of late years she has been a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church. As Mary S. B. Dana she published the Southern Harp, 1840, and the Northern Harp, 1841. From these works her hymns have been taken, 8 of which are in T. O. Summers's Songs of Zion, 1851. The best known are:— 1. Fiercely came the tempest sweeping. Christ stilling the storm. (1841.) 2. I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger. A Christian Pilgrim. (1841.) 3. O sing to me of heaven. Heaven contemplated. (1840.) Sometimes given as "Come, sing to me of heaven." [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) =================== Shindler, Mary S. B., p. 1055, i. Other hymns usually attributed to this writer, are "Prince of Peace, control my will" (Perfect Peace), in the Church of England Magazine, March 3, 1858, in 32 lines; and " Once upon the heaving ocean" (Jesus calming the Sea). --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
