The New Christian Hymnal ‎#54

54. The Day Is Past and Over

1. The day is past and over,
All thanks, O Lord, to Thee!
I pray Thee now that sinless
The hours of dark may be.
O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight,
And save me through the coming night!

2. The joys of day are over:
I lift my heart to Thee,
And ask Thee, that offenseless
The hours of dark may be.
O Jesus, make their darkness light,
And save me through the coming night!

3. The toils of day are over:
I raise my hymn to Thee,
And ask that free from peril
The hours of dark may be.
O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night!

4. Be Thou my soul's preserver,
O God, for Thou dost know
How many are the perils
Thro' which I have to go.
O loving Jesus, hear my call,
And guard and save me from them all!
