Voices of Praise ‎#11

11. Day is past and gone

1 Day is past and gone;
Darkness hastens on;
Blessed Lord, in mercy keep
Angel guards around Thy sheep.

2 Work again is past;
Blest has come at last;
Blessed Lord, forgive, I pray,
All I have done wrong to-day.

3 Soon in silence deep
God will give me sleep:
Blessed Lord, be Thou my light,
In the watches of the night.

4 When the night is o'er,
And I wake once more,
Blessed Lord, who lovest me,
Make Thy child to follow Thee.

Amen.
