38. Evening Hymn

Here as the night is falling,
Stars from the shadows calling,
Lord, to thy shelter flying,
Raise we our evening pray’r,
Only on thee relying,
Make us this night thy care.
Only on thee relying,
Make us this night thy care.
Lord, O Lord, make us thy care.
Make us, O Lord, O Lord, make us thy care.
While all unconscious sleeping,
Oh, have us, have us in thy keeping,
Father, graciously hear us, kindly our strength renew,
Thus for the morrow prepare, prepare us meekly thy will to do.
Thus for the morrow prepare, prepare us meekly thy will to do.
Lord, to thy shelter flying,
We raise our evening pray’r,
On Thee alone relying,
Make us this night thy care,
Make us thy care.
