The hours of day are over
Author: John Ellerton Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The hours of day are over,
The evening calls us home;
Once more to Thee, O Father,
With thankful hearts we come.
For all Thy countless blessings
We praise Thy holy Name,
And own Thy love unchanging,
Through days and years the same.
2 For this, O Lord, we bless Thee,
For this we thank Thee most:
The cleansing of the sinful,
The saving of the lost,
The Teacher ever present,
The Friend for ever nigh,
The home prepared by Jesus
For us above the sky.
3 Lord, gather all Thy children
To meet Thee there at last,
When earthly tasks are ended,
And earthly days are past;
With all our dear ones round us
In that eternal home,
Where death no more shall part us,
And night shall never come.
Amen.

The Call to Arms Is Sounding
Author: Claudia F. Hernaman Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The call to arms is sounding,
The foemen muster strong;
While saints beneath the altar
Are crying, Lord, how long?
The living and the loving
Christ’s royal standard raise,
And marching on to conflict
Shout forth their captain’s praise.
2. No time for self-indulgence,
For resting by the way;
Repose will come at even,
But toil is for the day;
Work, like the blessèd Jesus,
Who from His earliest youth
Would do His Father’s business
And witness for the truth.
3. For the one Faith, the true Faith,
The Faith which cannot fail,
For the one Church, the true Church,
’Gainst which no foes prevail;
Made one with God incarnate,
We in His might must win
The glory of self-conquest,
Of victory over sin.
4. Behold! upon Mount Sion
A glorious people stand,
A crown on every forehead,
A palm in every hand;
Lo! these are they who boldly
The name of Christ confessed,
And now triumphant praise Him
In Heav’n’s unresting rest.
5. O Jesu! who art waiting
Thy faithful ones to crown,
Vouchsafe to bless our conflict,
Our loving service own;
Come in each heart forever
As king adored to reign,
Till we with saints triumphant
Uplift the victor strain. Used With Tune: ST. CROIX Text Sources: Crown of Life, 1886
