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.
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.
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.
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.'
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.
