Author: John M. Neale; Anatolius Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #54 (1929) Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8 Lyrics: 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! Topics: God In Nature Evening Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANATOLIUS
