Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a314 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Daily Devotion Evening Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My weary eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest Forever on my Savior's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without Thee I cannot live! Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die! 4 If some poor wand'ring child of Thine Have spurn'd to-day the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick, enrich the poor With blessings from Thy bounteous store; Be every mourner's sleep to-night, Like infant's slumbers, pure and light! 6 Come near, and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, And lead us by Thy hand of love, Until we reach our home above.

The silent moon is risen

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a322 (1895) Topics: Daily Devotion Evening Lyrics: 1 The silent moon is risen, The golden star-fires glisten In heaven serene and bright; The forest sleeps in shadow, And slowly off the meadow A mist si curling, silver-white. 2 The veil of night is closing Around a world reposing In calm and holy trust; It seems like one still chamber, Where weary hearts remember No more the sorrows of the dust. 3 Behold the full moon beaming! So round and fair 'tis gleaming, Yet half is hid from sight. So, oft on earth, deceive us Things that now seem so grievous, Because the half is veiled in night 4 We, poor, frail mortals, groping, Half fearing and half hoping, In darkness seek our way; Our airy cobwebs spinning With erring and with sinning, Far from the mark we stray. 5 Thy saving health, O grant us, Lord, that we ne'er may vaunt us In vain and fleeting show; But child-like and confiding, Follow Thy gentle guiding, And in Thy paths with gladness go. 6 When death comes to release us With kindly hand, and frees us Ere life's a weary load; Then, when earth's ties we sever, Take us to Thee forever, Thou kind, Thou true, Thou gracious God! 7 The night's cool breath is creeping; Brothers, in God's good keeping Your weary eyelids close. His grace from ill defend us, And peaceful slumber send us, And soothe our poor sick neighbor's woes! Languages: English

O sweet the rest Thy grace goth bring, And bids me to my Saviour cling. 4 Now say good night! May angels bright Kep watching o'er me through the night, And spread their guardian, heavenly wings, O'er these my wearied, slumb'ring limbs. 5 "And now I lay me down to sleep; I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray, Thee, Lord, my soul to take." 6 Now say good night! To all, good night! God keep you safe till morning's light, That with His praise you all may wake; "And this I ask for Jesus sake." Languages: English
