Author: R. Jay Powell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15173 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Darkness falls upon our pathway Refrain First Line: Gracious Father, guard our slumbers Lyrics: 1 Darkness falls upon our pathway,
Nature’s eyes are closed in sleep;
Phantom ships in noiseless motion
Rock upon the quiet deep.
Refrain:
Gracious Father, guard our slumbers,
May our waking thoughts be pure;
Pure because these frail clay vessels
Rested in Thine arms secure.
2 Light in darkness, joy in sorrow,
Peace in trouble, love in fear;
These the fruits of Thy sweet Spirit,
Naught alarms when Thou art near. [Refrain]
3 Thus our days are filled with gladness,
Thus our nights devoid of gloom,
Though perchance a touch of sadness
Comes, enriching love’s perfume. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: SIBIU
