Author: John Mason Neale; Anatolius, 7th century Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8 Appears in 304 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day is past and over: All thanks, O Lord to thee; I pray thee that offenseless The hours of dark may be. O Jesus, keep me in thy sight, And save me through the coming night. 2 The toils of day are over: I raise the hymns to thee, And ask that free from peril The hours of night may be. O Jesus, keep me in thy sight, And guard me through the coming night. 3 Lord, that in death I sleep not, And lest my foe should say, "I have prevailed against him," Lighten mine eyes, I pray: O Jesus, keep me in thy sight, And guard me through the coming night. 4 Be thou my soul's Preserver, O God, for thou dost know How many are the perils Through which I have to go Lover of men, O hear my call, And guard and save me from them all. Amen. Topics: The Church The Lord's Day Evening; Cast Out Fear; Preservation of Christians; Supplication For Protection Scripture: Psalm 4:8 Used With Tune: ST. ANATOLIUS (BROWN)
