Good Night!

Author: Kate Sachs Hymnal: Redemption Songs #940 (1937) Meter: 10.10.10.6 with refrain First Line: The night draws near, our day of praise is o'er Lyrics: 1 The night draws near, our day of praise is o'er, Our songs, our hearts, uplifted rise once more, As at Thy feet, O Lord! our off'rings pour, And then, Good night, Good night! 2 The day of life has oft times darken'd been, Fierce storms have raged, with fitful lights between; But still at even, o'er the changing scene, Has come, sweet word, Good night! 3 The task will soon be o'er, however hard, The lonely struggle, watch'd still by the Lord; With Him is thine exceeding great reward— Till then, Good night, Good night! 4 Go forth in earnest, steadfast lives to prove Thy teaching true: deep rooted in His love, Fruits budding here, to ripen soon above, Where none shall say: Good night! 5 Good night! The longest day must have an end, The happiest hours will to their closing tend, Beyond, afar, th' eternal day we'll spend— Good night, Good night, Good night!

Trav'ler, ages are its own; See, it bursts o'er all the earth. 3 Watchman, tell us of the night, For the morning seems to dawn. Trav'ler, darkness takes its flight; Doubt and terror are withdrawn. Watchman, let thy wand'ring cease; Hie thee to thy quiet home. Trav'ler, lo! the Prince of Peace, Lo! the Son of God is come. Languages: English Tune Title: [Watchman, tell us of the night]

Now the shades of Night are gone

Hymnal: Juvenile Choir #53 (1840) Lyrics: 1 Now the shades of night are gone; Now the morning light is come; Lord, may we be thine today, Drive the shades of sin away. 2 Fill our souls with heavenly light, Banish doubt and clear our sight; In thy service, Lord to-day, May we labour, watch and pray. 3 Keep our haughty passions bound; Save us from our foes around; Going out and coming in Keep us safe from ev'ry sin. 4 When our work of life is past, O receive us then at last; Night and sin will be no more, When we reach the heavenly shore.

Hail, to the Queen of Night

Hymnal: The Assembly Hymn and Song Collection #179 (1914) First Line: Hail to the Queen of the silent night Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Queen of the silent night, Shine clear, shine bright, Yield thy pensive light, Blithly we'll dance in thy silver ray, Happily passing the hours away; Must we not live the stilly night, Dress'd in her robes of blue and white? Heav'ns arches ring, Stars wink and sing, Hail! silent night! Chorus: Fairy moonlight, fairy moonlight, fairy moonlight. 2 Dart thy pure beams from thy throne on high, Beam on, thro' sky, Rob'd in azure dye; We'll laugh and we'll sport while the nightbird sings, Flapping the dew from his sable wings; Sprites love to sport in the still moonlight, Play with the pearls of shadowy night: Then let us sing, Time's on the wing, Hail, silent night! {Chorus} Languages: English Tune Title: [Hail to the Queen of the silent night]

Heralds of Easter

Author: J. M. Thomas Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2316 First Line: The night is past, the heavy night of sorrow Refrain First Line: The bells begin to ring Lyrics: 1. The night is past, the heavy night of sorrow, The creeping hours unsolaced and alone; Lift up your hearts to greet the happy morrow, Fair cradle of a future yet unknown; A whisper shakes the curtained grey, To hail the rising King, And on the crystal air of day The bells begin to ring. Refrain The bells begin to ring, The bells begin to ring, to ring, to ring, And on the crystal air of day The bells begin to ring, Ring on, glad bells, ring on. 2. Again the words of glad release are spoken, To every soul with leaden grief oppressed, The year brings back the old immortal token, And hope returns to ease the burdened breast; A look—a word, we know not how, Our long resentment goes; It melts before a sweeter vow, To vanish like the snows. [Refrain] 3. As light returns, in sudden pallor stealing, The city starts, her pulses thrill again— For her the breath of vital strength and healing, Whose streets and alleys teem with myriad men! In many a hearth her grateful fires A sacred incense raise, For still the tameless heart aspires And burns in prayers and praise. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The night is past, the heavy night of sorrow]
