Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadow

Author: Paul Gerhardt Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 15 Lyrics: 1. Now rest beneath night’s shadow The woodland, field, and meadow, The world in slumber lies; But Thou, my heart, awake thee, To prayer and song betake thee; Let praise to thy creator rise. 2. The radiant sun hath vanished, His golden rays are banished By night, the foe of day; But Christ, the sun of gladness, Dispelling all my sadness, Within my heart holds constant sway. 3. The rule of day is over And shining jewels cover The heaven’s boundless blue. Thus I shall shine in heaven, Where crowns of gold are given To all who faithful prove and true. 4. To rest my body hasteth, Aside its garments casteth, Types of mortality; These I put off and ponder How Christ will give me yonder A robe of glorious majesty. 5. Lord Jesus, who dost love me, Oh, spread Thy wings above me And shield me from alarm! Though evil would assail me, Thy mercy will not fail me: I rest in Thy protecting arm. 6. My loved ones, rest securely, For God this night will surely From peril guard your heads. Sweet slumbers may He send you And bid His hosts attend you And through the night watch o’er your beds.

Now all the woods are sleeping

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 25 hymnals Matching Instances: 13 Lyrics: 1 Now all the woods are sleeping, And night and stillness creeping O’er city, man, and beast; But thou, my heart, awake thee, To pray'r awhile betake thee, And praise thy Maker ere thou rest. 2 O sun! where art thou vanished? The night thy light hath banished-- The ancient foe, the night; God then for now appeareth Another Sun, and cheereth My heart--'tis Jesus Christ, my Light! 3 The last faint beam is going, The golden stars are glowing In yonder dark-blue deep; Such is the glory given, When called of God to heaven, On earth no more we pine and weep. 4 To rest the body hasteth, Itself of clothes divesteth, Type of mortality! I'll put it off, and o'er me Christ throw the robe of glory, And blissful immortality! 5 Head, hands, and feet so tired Are glad the day's expired, That work comes to an end; My heart, be filled with gladness That God from all earth's sadness, And from sin's toil relief will send. 6 Ye aching limbs! now rest you, For toil hath sore oppressed you, Lie down, my weary head; A sleep shall once o'ertake you From which earth ne'er shall wake you, Within a cold and narrow bed. 7 Mine eyes scarce ope are keeping, A moment, I'll be sleeping, Soul, body,--fare ye well! In grace Thy care then make them May evil ne'er o'ertake them, Thou Eye and Ward of Israel. 8 O Jesus, be my Cover! And both Thy wings spread over Thy child, and shield Thou me! Though Satan would devour me, Let angels ever o'er me Sing, "This child shall uninjured be!" 9 My loved ones, rest securely,-- From every evil surely Our God will guard your heads; And happy slumbers send you, And bid His hosts attend you, And golden-armed watch o'er your beds.

We faint with thirst; revive us, of thine abundance give us, and all we need provide. 3. O Jesus, by thee bidden, we here adore thee, hidden in forms of bread and wine.

Upon the Cross Extended

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; John Kelly, 1833-90 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross extended, See, world, your Lord suspended; Your Savior yields his breath. The Prince of life from heaven Himself has freely given To shame and blows and bitter death. 2 How God at our transgression To anger gives expression, How loud his thunders roll, How fearfully he smites him, How sorely he requites him -- All this your suff'rings teach my soul. 3 'Tis I who should be smitten, My doom should here be written: Bound hand and foot in hell. The fetters and the scourging, The floods around you surging, 'Tis I who have deserved them well. 4 A crown of thorns you're wearing, My shame and scorn you're bearing That I might ransomed be. My bondsman, ever willing, My place with patience filling, From sin and guilt has made me free. 5 Your cords of love, my Savior, Bind me to you forever; I am no longer mine. To you I gladly tender All that my life can render And all I have to you resign. Topics: Lent; Lent Used With Tune: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadows The woodlands, fields and meadows, The world in slumber lies; But thou, my soul, awake thee, To song and prayer betake thee, Let praise to thy Creator rise. 2 The radiant sun hath vanished, Its golden rays are banished By night, the foe of day; But Christ, the Sun of gladness, Dispelling all my sadness, Within my heart holds constant sway. 3 The rule of day is over, And shining jewels cover The sky above so blue. Thus I shall shine in heaven, Where crowns of gold are given To all who faithful prove and true. 4 My body lies divested Of garments that have rested Upon this form of clay. But I in rapture ponder How Christ shall clothe me yonder With glory that endures for aye. 5 Lord Jesus, who dost love me, Thy pinions spread above me, And shield me well from harm. Let angel guards attend me And from the foe defend me, That I may rest without alarm. 6 My loved ones, rest securely, For God will keep you surely From pain and perils sore. Sweet slumbers may He send you, And may His hosts defend you With golden weapons evermore. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: INNSPRUCK Text Sources: Tr. Composite

Lord God, by whom all change is wrought

Author: T. H. Gill, 1819-1906 Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 Lord God, by whom all change is wrought, By whom new things to birth are brought, In whom no change is known! Whate'er Thou dost, whate'er Thou art, Thy people still in Thee have part; Still, still Thou art our own. 2 Ancient of Days! we dwell in Thee; Out of Thine own eternity Our peace and joy are wrought We rest in our eternal God, And make secure and sweet abode With Thee, who changest not. 3 Each steadfast promise we possess; Thine everlasting truth we bless, Thine everlasting love, The unfailing Helper close we clasp, The everlasting Arms we grasp, Nor from the Refuge move. 4 Spirit who makest all things new, Thou leadest onward; we pursue The heavenly march sublime, 'Neath Thy renewing fire we glow, And still from strength to strength we go, From height to height we climb. 5 Darkness and dread we leave behind, New light, new glory still we find, New realms divine possess; New births of grace new raptures bring; Triumphant, the new song we sing, The great Renewer bless. 6 To Thee we rise, in Thee we rest; We stay at home, we go in quest, Still Thou art our abode The rapture swells, the wonder grows As full on us new life still flows From our unchanging God.

Come, see the place where Jesus lay

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: Come, see the place where Jesus lay, And hear angelic watchers say, "He lives, who once was slain: Why seek the living midst the dead? Remember how the Savior said That he would rise again." O joyful sound! O glorious hour, When by his own Almighty power He rose and left the grave! Now let our songs his triumph tell, Who burst the bands of death and hell, And ever lives to save. The First-begotten of the dead, For us he rose, our glorious Head, Immortal life to bring; What though the saints like him shall die, They share their Leader's victory, And triumph with their King. No more they tremble at the grave, For Jesus will their spirits save, And raise their slumbering dust: O risen Lord, in thee we live, To thee our ransomed souls we give, To thee our bodies trust. Amen. Topics: Easter Day Used With Tune: INNSBRUCK

O thou who dost accord us

Author: J. W. Hewett Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 O thou, who dost accord us The highest prize and guerdon, Thou hope of all our race, Jesu, do thou afford us The gift we ask of pardon For all who humbly seek thy face. 2 With whispered accusation Our conscience tells of sinning In thought and word and deed; Thine is the restoration, The work of grace beginning For souls from every burden freed. 3 For who, if thou reject us, Shall raise the fainting spirit? 'Tis thine alone to spare: That thou to life elect us Through our Redeemer's merit, Shall be thy people's lowly prayer. 4 O Trinity most glorious, Thy pardon free bestowing, Defend us evermore; That in thy courts victorious, Thy love more truly knowing, We may with all thy saints adore.
