Now woods and fields are sleeping
Author: Rev. George R. Woodward; Rev. Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676) Hymnal: The Hymnal #505 (1950) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Topics: Orisons Lyrics: 1 Now woods and fields are sleeping,
And darkness fast is creeping
O'er meadow, hearth, and hall;
But thou, my soul, ere slumber,
For blessings passing number
Exalt the Giver of them all.
2 You also, O my dearest,
My friends and kindred nearest,
God rest you safe from harm!
His angel hosts attend you,
Their golden shields defend you
From nightly danger and alarm.
Amen. Tune Title: NUN RUHEN ALLE WÄLDER (INNSBRUCK)

To cheer our hearts this eventide,
Thy word illumine all our night,
O heavenly Sun, eternal Light.

To serve Thee wholly, Thee alone;
Thy peace on earth may we secure,
Thy Kingdom stablish strong and sure.
Amen. Tune Title: ACH BLEIB BEI UNS
Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide
Dear Master, in whose life I see
Author: Rev. John Hunter (1848-1917) Hymnal: The Hymnal #507 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Orisons Lyrics: 1 Dear Master, in whose life I see
All that I would, but fail to be;
Let Thy clear light forever shine,
To shame and guide this life of mine.
2 Though what I dream and what I do
In my weak days are always two,
Help me, oppressed by things undone,
O Thou, whose deeds and dreams were one!
Amen. Tune Title: SOLOTHURN
Dear Master, in whose life I see
My spirit longs for Thee
Author: John Byrom (1691-1763) Hymnal: The Hymnal #508 (1950) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Topics: Orisons Lyrics: 1 My spirit longs for Thee
Within my troubled breast,
Though I unworthy be
Of so divine a Guest.
Of so divine a Guest
Unworthy though I be,
Yet has my heart no rest,
Unless it come from Thee.
2 Unless it come from Thee,
In vain I look around;
In all that I can see
No rest is to be found.
No rest is to be found
But in Thy blessed love;
O let my wish be crowned,
And send it from above!
Amen. Tune Title: FINGAL
My spirit longs for Thee
Before the day draws near its ending
Author: Rev. John Ellerton (1826-1893) Hymnal: The Hymnal #509 (1950) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Topics: Orisons Lyrics: 1 Before the day draws near its ending,
And evening steals o'er earth and sky,
Once more to Thee our hymns ascending
Shall speak Thy praises, Lord Most High.
2 O Light all clear, O Truth most holy,
O boundless Mercy pardoning all,
Before Thy feet, abashed and lowly,
With one last prayer Thy children fall.
3 When we no more on earth adore Thee,
And others worship here in turn,
O may we sing that song before Thee,
Which none but Thy redeemed can learn.
Amen. Tune Title: SUNSET
Before the day draws near its ending
As now the sun's declining rays
Author: Rev. John Chandler; Rev. Charles Coffin Hymnal: The Hymnal #510 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Orisons Lyrics: 1 As now the sun's declining rays
At eventide descend,
E'en so our years are sinking down
To their appointed end.
2 Lord, on the cross Thine arms were stretched,
To draw us to the sky,
O grant us then that cross to love,
And in those arms to die.
3 To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Holy Ghost,
All glory be from men on earth,
And from the angel host.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. COLUMBA (IRISH)

This day showed
By my God,
I will bless my Saviour.
2 O my Lord, what shall I render
To Thy Name,
Still the same,
Gracious, good, and tender?

Let Thy peace
Be my bliss,
Till Thou hence remove me.

O Saviour, I have naught to plead
Author: Jane Crewdson (1809-1863) Hymnal: The Hymnal #512 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Topics: Orisons Lyrics: 1 O Saviour, I have naught to plead,
In earth beneath or heaven above,
But only my exceeding need,
And Thy exceeding love.
2. The need will soon be past and gone—
Exceeding great, but quickly o’er;
The love unbought is all Thine own,
And lasts forevermore.

O Saviour, I have naught to plead
My Jesus, pierced for love of me
Author: Rev. George R. Woodward Hymnal: The Hymnal #513 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Orisons Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, pierced for love of me,
Thankful enough how can I be?
O blessed Saviour, if I might
Thine everlasting love requite.
2 I pray Thee, hither come to me;
Revive me of Thy charity:
For Thee my spirit yearneth sore;
Would I were worthy of Thee more!
3 As harts, athirst upon the chase,
Speed to the water brooks apace,
So longeth sore mine heart for Thee:
O Jesus, Jesus, haste to me!
Amen. Tune Title: NU WOL GOTT DAS UNSER GESANG
My Jesus, pierced for love of me
