Methodist-Hymns-951
1: THE DAY is past and over;
All thanks, O Lord, to Thee;
We pray Thee now that sinless
The hours of dark may be:
O Jesu, keep me in Thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.
2: The joys of day are over;
We lift our heart to Thee,
And ask Thee that offenceless
The hours of dark may be:
O Jesu, make their darkness light,
And guard me through the coming night.
3: The toils of day are over:
We raise the hymn to Thee
And ask that free from peril
The hours of dark may be:
O Jesu, keep me in Thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.
4: Be Thou my soul’s preserver,
For Thou alone dost know
How many are the perils
Through which I have to go:
O loving Jesu, hear my call,
And guard and save me from them all.
