Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book ‎#26

26. Now the shades of night are gone

1 Now the shades of night are gone,
Now the morning light is come;
Lord, may I be thine today,
Drive the shades of sin away.

2 Fill our souls with heavenly light,
Banish doubt and cleanse our sight;
In Thy service, Lord, to-day,
Help us labor, help us pray.

3 Keep our haughty passions bound;
Save us from our foes around:
Going out and coming in,
Keep us safe from every sin.

4 When our work of life is past,
O receive us then at last!
Night of sin will be no more,
When we reach the heavenly shore.
