Author: Frans Mikael Franzén Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #565 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 When vesper bells are calling
The hour of rest and prayer,
When evening shades are falling,
And I must hence repair,
I seek my chamber narrow,
Nor my brief day deplore,
For I shall see the morrow
Where night shall be no more.
2 O take me in Thy keeping,
Dear Father good and just;
Let not my soul be sleeping
In sin, and pride, and lust.
If in my life Thou guide me
According to Thy will,
I may in death confide me
Into Thy keeping still.
Amen.
