O Christ, Who Art the Light and Day
Author: William J. Copeland; Unknown Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #559 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: John 8:12 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, who art the Light and Day,
Thou drivest night and gloom away;
O Light of light, whose Word doth show
The light of heav'n to us below.
2 All-holy Lord, in humble prayer,
We ask tonight Thy watchful care.
Oh, grant us calm repose in Thee,
A quiet night, from perils free.
3 Our sleep be pure from sinful stain;
Let not the Tempter vantage gain
Or our unguarded flesh surprise
And make us guilty in Thine eyes.
4 Asleep though wearied eyes may be,
Still keep the heart awake to Thee;
Let Thy right hand outstretched above
Guard those who serve the Lord they love.
5 Behold, O God, our Shield, and quell
The crafts and subtleties of hell;
Direct Thy servants in all good,
Who Thou hast purchased with Thy blood.
6 O Lord, remember us who bear
The burden of the flesh we wear;
Thou who dost e'er our souls defend,
Be with us even to the end.
7 All praise to God the Father be,
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee,
Whom with the Spirit we adore
Forever and forevermore.
Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTE, DER DU BIST TAG UND LICHT

O Christ, Who Art the Light and Day
O Christ, who art the Light and Day
Author: William Copeland, 1804-1885 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #478 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:20 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, who art the Light and Day,
thou drivest darksome night away!
We know thee as the Light of light,
illuminating mortal sight.
2 All-holy Lord, we pray to thee,
keep us tonight from danger free;
grant us, dear Lord, in thee to rest,
to be our sleep in quiet blest.
3 And while the eyes soft slumber take,
still be the heart to thee awake;
be thy right hand upheld above
thy servants resting in thy love.
4 O strong defender, be thou nigh
to bid the pow'rs of darkness fly;
keep us from sin, and guide for good
thy servants purchased by thy blood.
5 Remember us, dear Lord, we pray
while in this mortal flesh we stay:
'tis thou who dost the soul defend -
be present with us to the end.
6 Blest Three in One and One in Three,
almighty God, we pray to thee
that thou wouldst now vouchsafe to bless
our fast with fruits of righteousness.
Amen. Topics: Evening; Protection Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTE QUI LUX
