1 Softly now the day is ending,
Night o’er hill and vale descending;
I will kneel before Thee, Lord.
Unto Thee my thanks I render
That Thou didst, in mercy tender,
Life and peace to me accord.
2 May Thy church Thy peace inherit;
Guide Thy leaders by Thy Spirit;
Give our country strength and peace;
To the sinner, sad and dreary,
To each Christian, faint and weary,
Give Thou solace and surcease.
3 Keep me, Jesus, while I slumber,
Free from perils without number;
Shield me, Master, in Thy might,
That, released from sin and sorrow,
I may sing this song tomorrow:
Jesus was my Sun this night.
