Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #94 (1997) Meter: 7.8.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Bless the Lord as day departs;
let your lamps be brightly burning,
lifting holy hands and hearts
to the Lord, till day's returning.
2 As within the darkened shrine,
faithful to their sacred calling,
sons and priests of Levi's line
blest the Lord as night was falling:
3 so may we who watch or rest
bless the Lord of earth and heaven,
and by him ourselves be blest,
grace and peace and mercy given. Topics: Evening; Grace; Mercy; Metrical Psalms; Peace Scripture: Psalm 134 Languages: English Tune Title: ASTHALL
