Give us, O Lord, fresh hopes in heaven, 4 Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God, Upon our souls descend; 94 From midnight fears, and perils, Thou Through the long day we labor, Lord, A. A. Procter. NOW THE day is over, 2 Jesus, give the weary 3 Grant to little children Visions bright of Thee; 4 Comfort every sufferer 6s, 5s. 5 Through the long night-watches, 6 When the morning wakens, 95 96 Pure, and fresh, and sinless S. Baring-Gould. HOLY Father, cheer our way 7,7,7,5 2 Holy Saviour, calm our fears Light at evening-time. 3 Holy Spirit, be Thou nigh 4 Holy, blessed Trinity, Darkness is not dark to Thee; R. H. Robinson. 7,7,7,5 THREE in One, and One in Three, Hear us, while we lift to Thee 2 Light of lights, with morning shine, And let charity benign Breathe on us her balm. 3 Light of lights, when falls the even, 97 4 Three in One, and One in Three, Hope to bear the palm. G. Rorison. WHEN the day of toil is done, 2 When the strife of sin is stilled, 3 When the darkness melts away, 7,7,7,5 4 When the heart by sorrow tried 5 When for vanished days we yearn, 6 When the breath of life is flown, Life for evermore! 98 J. Ellerton. 7,7,7,5 JESUS, Shepherd of the sheep, Who Thy Father's flock doth keep, 99 Safe we wake and safe we sleep, 2 In Thy promise firm we stand, 3 By Thy blood our souls were bought, 4 Father, draw us to Thy Son, 5 We in robes of glory drest In the fold with Thee. H. Cook. 8s, 7s. 2 Heavy though our sins, Thy mercy 3 Keep us through this night of peril 4 None can measure out Thy patience None can bound the tender mercies 5 Pardon all our past transgressions, Give us strength for days to come; Guide and guard us with Thy blessing, Till Thine angels bear us home. 100 H. Parr. 11,11,11,5 Now GOD be with us, for the night is closing; The light and darkness are of His disposing, And 'neath his shadow here to rest we yield 2 Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us; Till morning cometh, watch, O Master, o'er us; In soul and body Thou from harm defend us, Thine angels send us. 3 Let holy thoughts be ours when sleep o'ertakes us; Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us. All sick and mourners we to Thee commend them, Do Thou befriend them. 4 We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us But Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us. Keep us in life; forgive our sins; deliver Us now and ever. |
