Bright as the sun­shine break­ing from the dark­ness.
O Je­sus, keep us in Thy sight,
All through the day.
Banish false doc­trine from our ears.
Lord, give Thine an­gels ev­ery day
He’ll be with us to the end,
Let Thy gra­cious pre­sence cheer us,
Now we lay us down to rest;
Pardon our of­fens­es,
Secure from all our fears;

Guard us

Lord God Al­migh­ty.
The joys of day are ov­er;
And when we die,
And let us be re­newed with­in:
And bid them ev­ery ev­en­ing keep
We will fol­low Je­sus.
When the night of death comes o’er us,
Let no foe our peace mo­lest;
Make us, like true child­ren,
Till morn­ing light ap­pears.
