Even Song

lyricist: Ida Hunneman, 1906
Composer: Es­te’s Psal­ter, 1592

This day Thou gav­est us

O Lord

Has passed be­yond our sight:

Thy lov­ing care has crowned its hours

Watch o’er us thro the night.

E’en as the twi­light deep­ens here

’Tis day in dist­ant lands.

Gird all Thy serv­ants there with strength

With bless­ings fill their hands.

While we’re asleep

they la­bor

Lord;

O grant them rich suc­cess

And peace­ful slum­ber

when we wake

And strive thro’ Thee to bless.

At home

abroad

we praise Thee

Lord

For count­less mer­cies giv’n;

Help us to fol­low in Thy steps

Thro’ earth­ly days to Heav’n.
