At even when the sun was set

Author: Henry Twells, 1823-1900 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 316 hymnals Topics: St. Luke October 18th Lyrics: 1 At even when the sun was set The sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O, in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we Oppressed with various ills draw near; What if thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel; For some are sick, and some are sad, And some have never loved thee well, And some have lost the love they had; 4 And some have found the world is vain, Yet from the world they break not free; And some have friends who give them pain, Yet have not sought a friend in thee; 5 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, For none are wholly free from sin; And they who fain would serve thee best Are conscious most of wrong within. 6 O Saviour Christ, thou too art Man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide; 7 Thy touch has still its ancient power, No word from thee can fruitless fall; Hear in this solemn evening hour, And in thy mercy heal us all.

Author: W. D. Maclagan Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Holy Days St. Luke Lyrics: 1 What thanks and praise to Thee we owe, O Priest and Sacrifice divine, For Thy dear Saint thro' whom we know So many a gracious word of Thine. 2 Whom Thou didst choose to tell the tale Of all Thy manhood's toils and tears, And for a moment lift the veil That hides Thy boyhood's spotless years. 3 And still the Church through all her days Uplifts the strains that never cease, The blessed Virgin's hymn of praise, The aged Simeon's words of peace. 4 O happy saint! whose sacred page, So rich in words of truth and love, Pours on the Church from age to age This healing unction from above; 5 The witness of the Saviour's life, The great Apostle's chosen friend Through weary years of toil and strife, And still found faithful to the end. 6 So grant us, Lord, like him to live, Beloved by man, approved by Thee, Till Thou at last the summons give, And we, with him, Thy face shall see.
