Laudes Domini ‎#114

114. "Abide with us"

1 The day, O Lord, is spent;
Abide with us, and rest;
Our hearts' desires are fully bent
On making thee our guest.

2 We have not reach that land,
That happy land, as yet,
Where holy angels round thee stand,
Whose sun can never set.

3 Our sin is sinking now,
Our day is almost o'er;
O Sun of Righteousness, do thou
Shine on us evermore!

4 The grace of Christ our Lord,
The Father's boundless love,
The Spirit's blest communion, too,
Be with us from above.
