Text: | The Darkness Now Is Over |
Tune: | BULSTRODE |
Composer: | Evelyn Sharpe |
1 The darkness now is over,
And all the world is bright;
Praise be to Christ, who keepeth
His children safe at night!
2 We cannot tell what gladness
May be our lot today,
What sorrow or temptation
May meet us on our way.
3 But this we know most surely,
That, through all good or ill,
God's grace can always help us
To do His holy will.
4 Then, Jesus, let the angels,
Who watched us through the night,
Be all day long beside us
To guide our steps aright.
5 And help us to remember
In thought and deed and word
That we are heirs of Heaven
And children of the Lord.
6 Then, when the evening cometh,
We'll kneel again to pray,
And thank Thee for the blessings
Bestowed throughout the day.
