156 SCHUMANN S. M. Arr. fr. Robert Schumann 1. Our day of praise is done, The eve - ning shadows bb 4 fall; be 2 But pass not from us with the sun, True light that light' nest all. A-MEN. Praise God, from whom all bless-ings flow; Praise Him all creatures here below; Praise Him a-bove, ye heav'nly host; Praise Fa-ther, Son, and Ho- ly Ghost. A-MEN. 159 DIX 777777 Arr. fr. Conrad Kocher, 1838 1. As with glad-ness men of old Did the guid-ing star be - hold, 4 As with joy they hail'd its light, Lead-ing on-ward, beam-ing bright, Arthur Sullivan, 1867 160 FALFIELD 87878787 1. Light of those whose dreary dwell-ing Borders on the shades of death, 9:4 9: Come, and by Thy love's re- vealing Dis- si-pate the clouds be- neath. 9:3 The new heav'n and earth's Creator, In our deep- est dark-ness rise, Scattering all the night of na-ture, Pour - ing eye-sight on 2 Still we wait for Thine appearing: Life and joy Thy beams impart, Chasing all our fears and cheering Every poor, benighted heart, Come and manifest the favor God hath for our ransomed race; Come, Thou universal Saviour, Come and bring the gospel grace. 3 Save us in Thy great compassion, 2 Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. 3 Shall we not yield Him in costly devotion, 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favor secure; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid, Reginald Heber, 1811 |
