MHB 953 – O LORD, who by Thy presence hast made light

Methodist-Hymns-953

1:  O LORD, who by Thy presence hast made light
The heat and burden of the toilsome day,
Be with me also in the silent night,
Be with me when the daylight fades away.

2:  Fraught with rich blessing, breathing sweet repose,
The calm of evening settles on my breast;
If Thou be with me when my labours close,
No more is needed to complete my rest.

3:  Come then, O Lord, and deign to be my guest.
After the day’s confusion, toil, and din,
O come to bring me peace, and joy, and rest,
To give salvation, and to pardon sin.

4:  Bind up the wounds, assuage the aching smart
Left in my bosom from the day just past,
And let me on a Father’s loving heart
Forget my griefs, and find sweet rest at last.
