The Day Is Past and Over

The day is past and ov­er;

All thanks

O Lord

to Thee!

We pray Thee that of­fense­less

The hours of dark may be.

O Je­sus

keep us in Thy sight

And guard us through the com­ing night.

The joys of day are ov­er;

We lift our hearts to Thee

And call on Thee that sin­less

The hours of dark may be.

O Je­sus

make their dark­ness light

And guard us through the com­ing night.

Lord

that in death I sleep not

And lest my foe should say

I have pre­vailed against him

Lighten mine eyes

I pray:

O Je­sus

keep me in Thy sight

And guard me through the com­ing night.

The toils of day are ov­er;

We raise our hymn to Thee

And ask that free from per­il

The hours of dark may be.

O Je­sus

keep us in Thy sight

And guard us through the com­ing night.

Be Thou our souls’ pre­serv­er

O God

for Thou dost know

How ma­ny are the per­ils

Through which we have to go.

Lord Je­sus Christ

O hear our call

And guard and save us from them all.
