Τὴν ἡμέραν διελθών.
The day is past and over;
All thanks, Lord, to thee;
I pray thee now that sinless
The hours of dark may be:
Jesus, keep me in thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.
All thanks, Lord, to thee;
I pray thee now that sinless
The hours of dark may be:
Jesus, keep me in thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.
The joys of day are over :
I lift my heart to thee.
And ask thee that offenceless
The hours of dark may be :
O Jesus, keep me in thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.
I lift my heart to thee.
And ask thee that offenceless
The hours of dark may be :
O Jesus, keep me in thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.
The toils of day are over:
I raise the hymn to thee.
And ask that free from peril
The hours of dark may be:
Jesus, keep me in thy sight.
And guard me through the coming night.
I raise the hymn to thee.
And ask that free from peril
The hours of dark may be:
Jesus, keep me in thy sight.
And guard me through the coming night.
Lighten mine eyes, Saviour,
Or sleep in death shall I,
And he, my wakeful tempter.
Triumphantly shall cry, [light,
'He could not make their darkness
Nor guard them through the hours of night.'
Or sleep in death shall I,
And he, my wakeful tempter.
Triumphantly shall cry, [light,
'He could not make their darkness
Nor guard them through the hours of night.'
Be thou my soul's Preserver,
God, for thou dost know
How many are the perils
Through which I have to go :
Lover of men, oh hear my call,
And guard and save me from them all.
God, for thou dost know
How many are the perils
Through which I have to go :
Lover of men, oh hear my call,
And guard and save me from them all.
