Now the shades of night are gone

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a303 (1895) Topics: Daily Devotion Morning Lyrics: 1 Now the shades of night are gone; Now the morning light is come; Lord, may I be thine to-day-- Drive the shades of sin away. 2 Fill my soul, O Christ, with light, Banish doubt and cleanse my sight, In Thy service, Lord, to-day Help me labor, help me pray. 3 Keep my haughty passions bound; Save me from my foes around; Going out and coming in, Keep us safe from ev'ry sin. 4 When my work of life is past, O receive me then at last! Night of sin will be no more, When I reach the heav'nly shore. Languages: English

Now all the woods are sleeping

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a310 (1895) Topics: Daily Devotion Evening Lyrics: 1 Now all the woods are sleeping, And night and stillness creeping O’er city, man, and beast; But thou, my heart, awake thee, To prayer awhile betake thee, And praise Thy Maker ere thou rest. 2 O sun! where art thou vanished? The night thy light hath banished-- The ancient foe, the night; God then for now appeareth Another Sun, and cheereth My heart--'tis Jesus Christ, my Light! 3 The last faint beam is going, The golden stars are glowing In yonder dark-blue deep; Such is the glory given, When called of God to heaven, On earth no more we pine and weep. 4 To rest the body hasteth, Itself of clothes divesteth, Type of mortality! I'll put it off, and o'er me Christ throw the robe of glory, And blissful immortality! 5 Head, hands, and feet so tired Are glad the day's expired, That work comes to an end; My heart, be filled with gladness That God from all earth's sadness, And from sin's toil relief will send. 6 Ye aching limbs! now rest you, For toil hath sore oppressed you, Lie down, my weary head; A sleep shall once o'ertake you From which earth ne'er shall wake you, Within a cold and narrow bed. 7 Mine eyes scarce ope are keeping, A moment, I'll be sleeping, Soul, body,--fare ye well! In grace Thy care then make them May evil ne'er o'ertake them, thou Eye and Ward of Israel. 8 O Jesus, be my Cover! And both Thy wings spread over Thy child, and shield Thou me! Though Satan would devour me, Let angels ever o'er me Sing, "This child shall uninjured be!" 9 My loved ones, rest securely,-- From every evil surely Our God will guard your heads; And happy slumbers send you, And bid His hosts attend you, And golden-armed watch o'er your beds.

Since now the day hath reached its close

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a311 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Daily Devotion Evening Lyrics: 1 Since now the day hath reached its close, And sunlight shines no more, In sleep the toil-worn find repose, And all who wept before. 2 But Thou, my Lord, no rest dost know, No slumber dims Thy sight, Thou hatest darkness as Thy foe, Since Thou Thyself art light. 3 O Lord, I pray, remember me Throughout the shades of night, And grant to me most graciously The shield of Thy great might. 4 And foil Thou Satan's purpose fell Through Thy swift angel-arm, Then free from care, I'll rest me well And safe from every harm. 5 I feel indeed through guilt undone, It cried aloud to Thee: But yet, the mercy from Thy Son Hath full atoned for me. 6 Him I present Thee as my Bail, While suppliant at Thy feet, With such assurance I'll not fail Before Thy judgement-seat. 7 Away, vain, idle thoughts depart! Roam not my soul abroad; For now I build within my heart A temple to my God. 8 And hereupon my eyes I close, And fall asleep heart-glad; My God doth watch o'er my repose, Why should my heart be sad? 9 And thus I live and die to Thee, Thou Sabaoth strong, indeed! In life and death Thou helpest me From every fear and need. 10 Should this night prove the last for me In this dark vale of tears, Then lead me, Lord, in heaven to Thee And my elect compeers.

Sink not yet, my soul, to slumber

Soul and body, mind and health, Wife and children, house and wealth, Friend and foe, the sick, the stranger, Keep Thou safe from harm and danger. 4 O Thou mighty God, now hearken To the prayer Thy child hath made; Jesus, while the night-hours darken Be Thou still my Hope, my Aid; Holy Ghost, on Thee I call, Friend and Comforter of all, Hear my earnest prayer, O hear me! Lord, Thou hearest, Thou art near me. Languages: English
