Now That the Daylight Fills the Sky

Now that the day­light fills the sky

We lift our hearts to God on high

That He

in all we do or say

Would keep us free from harm today.

May He re­strain our tongues from strife

And shield from an­ger’s din our life

And guard with watch­ful care our eyes

From earth’s ab­sorb­ing va­ni­ties.

O may our in­most hearts be pure

From thoughts of fol­ly kept se­cure

And pride of sin­ful flesh sub­dued

Through spar­ing use of dai­ly food.

So we

when this day’s work is o’er

And shades of night re­turn once more

Our path of tri­al safe­ly trod

Shall give the glo­ry to our God.

All praise to God the Fa­ther be

All praise

eter­nal Son

to Thee

Whom with the Spir­it we ad­ore

Forever and for­ev­er­more.
