27 "The Lord will bless His people with peace."- Ps. xxix. 11. PI SAVIOUR, again to Thy dear Name we raise With one accord our parting hymn of praise : cres. We stand to bless Thee ere our worship cease; dim. Then lowly kneeling, wait Thy word of peace. 2 Grant us Thy peace through this approaching night; Turn Thou for us its darkness into light; From harm and danger keep Thy For dark and light are both alike to SALVATOR. 3 Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way; With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day: Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, That in this house have called upon 4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life, 8.7.8.7. D. Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife; Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal Peace. Amen. SIR JOHN GOss, d. 1880. ST. ANATOLIUS.

I THE day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended, The darkness falls at Thy behest; To Thee our morning hymns ascended, Thy praise shall hallow now our rest. 2 We thank Thee that Thy Church unsleeping, While earth rolls onward into light, Through all the world her watch is keeping, And rests not now by day or night. 3 As o'er each continent and island The dawn leads on another day, The voice of prayer is never silent, 4 The sun, that bids us rest, is waking 5 So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never, Like earth's proud empires, pass away; cres. But stand, and rule, and grow for ever, f Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway. Amen. |
