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!

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.

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]

O Watchman, will the night of sin

Author: Richter; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Lyra Germanica #1 (1861) Meter: 8.4.10.10.4.10 Lyrics: O Watchman, will the night of sin Be never past? O watchman, doth the tarrying day begin To dawn upon thy straining sight at last? Will it dispel Ere long the mists of sin wherein I dwell? Now all the earth is bright and glad With the fresh morn; But all my heart is cold and dark and sad; Sun of the soul, let me behold Thy dawn! Come, Jesus, Lord! Oh quickly come, according to Thy word! Do we not live in those blest days So long foretold, When Thou shouldst come to bring us light and grace? And yet I sit in darkness as of old, Pining to see Thy glory; but Thou still art far from me. Long since Thou camest for the light Of all men here; And still in me is nought but blackest night, Yet I am thine, Oh hasten to appear, Shine forth and bless My soul with vision of Thy righteousness! If thus in darkness ever left, Can I fulfil The works of light, while yet of light bereft? Or how discern in love and meekness still To follow Thee, And all the sinful works of darkness flee? The light of reason cannot give Light to my soul; Jesus alone can make me truly live, One glance of His can make my spirit whole, Arise and shine, O Jesus, on this longing heart of mine! Single and clear, not weak or blind, The eye must be, To which Thy glory shall and entrance find; For if Thy chosen ones would gaze on Thee, No earthly screen Between their souls and Thee must intervene. Jesus, do Thou mine eyes unseal, And let them grow Quick to discern whate'er thou dost reveal, So shall I be deliver'd from that woe, Blindly to stray Through hopeless night, while all around is day.

Shine with thy message sweet tonight, As in the olden days. Rise, O bright Star! Shine forth again, And let the nations know, Jesus will yet return to reign, Worshipped by all below. 3 Light of His love, divinely pure, Wilt Thou the message bring, Ere that day break when He once more Cometh as Zion’s King?
