HERZLIEBSTER JESU 11.11.11.5
Johann
Crüger,
1640
1. Night's shadows falling men to rest are calling; Rest we, possessing heav'nly peace and blessing: This we implore Thee, falling down before Thee, Great King of Glory!
2. O Savior, hear us! Son of God, be near us! Thine angels send us; let Thy love attend us: He nothing feareth, whom Thy presence cheereth, Light his path cleareth.
3. Be near, relieving all who now are grieving; Thy visitation be our consolation: O hear the sighing of the faint and dying; Lord, hear our crying!
4. Thou ever livest; endless life Thou givest; Thou watch art keeping o'er Thy faithful sleeping; In Thy clear shining they are now reclining, All care resigning.
5. O Lord of Glory, praise we and adore Thee— Thee for us given, our true rest from Heaven! Rest, peace, and blessing, we are now possessing, Thy name confessing.
