Day Is Past And Over, The

The day is past and over;

All thanks, O Lord, to Thee!

We pray Thee that offenseless

The hours of dark may be.

O Jesus, keep us in Thy sight,

And guard us through the coming night.

The joys of day are over;

We lift our hearts to Thee,

And call on Thee that sinless

The hours of dark may be.

O Jesus, make their darkness light,

And guard us through the coming night.

Lord, that in death I sleep not,

And lest my foe should say,

"I have prevailed against him,"

Lighten mine eyes, I pray:

O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight,

And guard me through the coming night.

The toils of day are over;

We raise our hymn to Thee,

And ask that free from peril

The hours of dark may be.

O Jesus, keep us in Thy sight,

And guard us through the coming night.

Be Thou our souls' Preserver,

O God, for Thou dost know

How many are the perils

Through which we have to go.

Lord Jesus Christ, O hear our call

And guard and save us from them all.
