Night’s Shadows Falling

Night’s sha­dows fall­ing men to rest are call­ing;

Rest we

pos­sess­ing heav’n­ly peace and bless­ing:

This we im­plore Thee

fall­ing down be­fore Thee

Great King of Glo­ry!

O Sav­ior

hear us! Son of God

be near us!

Thine an­gels send us; let Thy love at­tend us:

He no­thing fear­eth

whom Thy pre­sence cheer­eth

Light his path clear­eth.

Be near

re­liev­ing all who now are griev­ing;

Thy vi­si­ta­tion be our con­so­la­tion:

O hear the sigh­ing of the faint and dy­ing;

Lord

hear our cry­ing!

Thou ev­er liv­est; end­less life Thou giv­est;

Thou watch art keep­ing o’er Thy faith­ful sleep­ing;

In Thy clear shin­ing they are now re­clin­ing

All care re­sign­ing.

O Lord of Glo­ry

praise we and ad­ore Thee—

Thee for us giv­en

our true rest from Heav­en!

Rest

peace

and bless­ing

we are now pos­sess­ing

Thy name con­fess­ing.
