Now the day is over
Author: S. Baring-Gould, 1834 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #217b (1917) Topics: Evening Hymns Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
2 Now the darkness gathers,
Stars begin to peep;
Birds and beasts and flowers
Soon will be asleep.
3 Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose,
With Thy tenderest blessing
May mine eyelids close.
4 Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee,
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.
5 Comfort every sufferer
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sin restrain.
6 Through the long night-watches
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
7 When the morning wakens
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
8 Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to Thee, blest Spirit
Whilst all ages run. Languages: English Tune Title: EUDOXIA
Now the day is over
Now the light has gone away
Hymnal: Voices of Praise #14 (1883) Topics: Evening; Hymns for Little Children Lyrics: 1 Now the light has gone away,
Saviour, listen while I pray,
Asking Thee to watch and keep,
And to send me quiet sleep.
2 Jesus, Saviour, wash away,
All that has been wrong to-day;
Help me every day to be
Good and gentle, more like Thee.
3 Let my near and dear ones be,
Always near and dear to Thee;
O bring me and all I love
To Thy happy Home above.
4 Now my evening praise I give;
Thou didst die that I might live,
All my blessings come from Thee,
O how good Thou art to me!
5 Thou my best and kindest Friend,
Thou wilt love me to the end!
Let me love Thee more and more,
Always better than before.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: GERMAN EVENING HYMN
Now the light has gone away
The radiant morn hath passed away
Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #229 (1917) Topics: Evening Hymns Lyrics: 1 The radiant morn hath passed away,
And spent too soon her golden store;
The shadows of departing day
Creep on once more.
2 Our life is but a fading dawn,
Its glorious noon how quickly past
Lead us, O Christ, when all is gone,
Safe home at last.
3 O by Thy soul-inspiring grace
Uplift our hearts to realms on high
Help us to look to that bright place
Beyond the sky,
4 Where light, and life, and joy, and peace,
In undivided empire reign,
And thronging angels never cease
Their deathless strain
5 Where saints are clothed in spotless white,
And evening shadows never fall;
Where Thou, Eternal Light of Light,
Art Lord of all. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GABRIEL
The radiant morn hath passed away
The sun is sinking fast
Author: E. Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #242 (1917) Topics: Evening Hymns Lyrics: 1 The sun is sinking fast,
The daylight dies;
Let love awake, and pay
Her evening sacrifice.
2 As Christ upon the Cross
His head inclined,
And to His Father's hands
His parting soul resigned,
3 So now herself my soul
Would wholly give
Into His sacred charge,
In whom all spirits live;
4 So now beneath His eye
Would calmly rest,
Without a wish or thought
Abiding in the breast,
5 Save that His will be done,
Whate'er betide,
Dead to herself, and dead
In Him to all beside.
6 Thus would I live; yet now
Not I, but He
In all His power and love
Henceforth alive in me.
7 One sacred Trinity!
One Lord Divine!
May I be ever His,
And He for ever mine. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. COLUMBA
The sun is sinking fast
An Evening Prayer
Author: C. M. Battersby Hymnal: The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) #331 (2001) Topics: Evening hymns First Line: If I have wounded any soul today Lyrics: 1 If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord, forgive!
2 If I have uttered idle words or vain,
If I have turned aside from want or pain,
Lest I offend some other thru the strain,
Dear Lord, forgive!
3 If I have been perverse, or hard, or cold,
If I have longed for shelter in the fold,
When Thou hast given me some fort to hold,
Dear Lord, forgive!
4 Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee;
Forgive the secret sins I do not see;
O guide me, love me, and my keeper be.
A-men.

An Evening Prayer
Abide with Me
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: Voices United #436 (1996) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: The Church at Worship Closing and Evening Hymns First Line: Abide with me, fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide:
the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
when other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see:
O Christ, who changes not, abide with me.
3 I need your presence every passing hour;
what but your grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like yourself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I have no fear with you at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory?
I triumph still, if you abide with me.
5 Hold now your cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

Author: J. Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #241 (1917) Topics: Evening Hymns Lyrics: Hail, gladdening Light, of His pure glory poured
Who is the Immortal Father, heavenly, blest,
Holiest of Holies, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Therefore in all the world Thy glories, Lord, they own. Amen.
