Author: Rev. John M. Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal #44 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The day is past and over:
All thanks, O Lord, to Thee;
I pray Thee that offenseless
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 call on Thee that sinless
The hours of night may be.
O Jesus, make their darkness light,
And save me through the coming night.
3 The toils of day are over:
I raise the hymn to Thee,
And ask that free from peril
The hours of fear 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
Through which I have to go.
Lover of men, O hear my call,
And guard and save me from them all.
Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Evening hymns; Worship Evening Tune Title: ST. ANATOLIUS (BROWN)
