Author: Svend O. Sigmond Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #53 (1927) Meter: 11.11.11.6 Lyrics: 1 Father Almighty, darkness now is deep'ning,
And we commend us to Thy gracious keeping;
Oh, may Thine angels guard us in our sleeping,
Protect us through the night!
2 Blessed Lord Jesus, Thou whose side is riven,
Thou by whose wounds our sins are all forgiven:
Draw us to Thee, to Thy dear self in heaven,
From ev'ry sin release!
3 O Holy Spirit, Christ the Son explaining,
Who with the Father and the Son art reigning,
And for us all eternal life art gaining:
Direct us by Thy light!
4 Father and Son and Holy Spirit, blending
All three in One in ages without ending:
Oh, let Thy blessing on us be descending,
Grant us Thy perfect peace! Topics: Morning and Evening Languages: English Tune Title: [Father Almighty, darkness now is deep'ning]
