The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#557

557. Another Day Is at Its Close

1 Another day is at its close,
Its joys and sorrows spent;
Another night with sweet repose
Unto the earth is sent.
In Thee, O Lord, my trust I place,
No change can Thee befall;
My days and nights, filled with Thy grace,
By Thee are numbered all.

2 Safe in Thy keeping let me be
When daylight fades away;
And gladly will I worship Thee
When dawns another day.
If death this night should summon me,
O Jesus, be Thou nigh;
Grant that I rest secure in Thee
Whether I live or die.

Amen.
