Evening and Morning

lyricist: Paul Gerhardt, 1666
Composer: Johann Ebeling (1637–1676)

Evening and morn­ing

sun­set and dawn­ing

Wealth

peace and glad­ness

com­fort in sad­ness

These are Thy works; all the glo­ry be Thine!

Times with­out num­ber

awake or in slum­ber

Thine eye ob­serves us

from dan­ger pre­serves us

Causing Thy mer­cy up­on us to shine.

Father

O hear me

par­don and spare me;

Calm all my ter­rors

blot out my er­rors

That by Thine eyes they may no more be scanned.

Order my go­ings

di­rect all my do­ings;

As it may please Thee

re­tain or re­lease me;

All I com­mit to Thy fa­ther­ly hand.
