ST. GREGORY (ZEUCH MEINEN GEIST). (L. M.)
(Modern Tune)
From König's Choralbuch (1738)
Slow and solemn 𝅗𝅥 = 50.
(slightly altered).
5 That when black darkness closes day,
Amd shadows thicken round our way,
Faith may no darkness know, and night
From faith’s clear beam may borrow
6 Rest not, my heaven-born mind and will;
Rest, all ye thoughts and deeds of ill;
May faith its watch unwearied keep, sleep.
And cool the dreaming warmth of light.
7 From cheats of sense, Lord, keep me free,
And let my heart's depth dream of thee;
Let not my envious foe draw near,
To break my rest with any fear.
8. Pray we the Father and the Son,
And Holy Ghost O Three in One,
Blest Trinity, whom all obey,
Guard thou thy sheep by night and day. Amen.
