The Church Hymnal ‎#535

535. Thro' the day Thy love has spared us

1 Thro the day Thy love has spared us,
Hear us ere the hour of rest:
Thro' the silent watches guard us,
Let no foe our peace molest;
Jesus, Thou our Guardian be;
Sweet it is to trust in Thee.

2 Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers,
Dwelling in the midst of foes;
Us and ours preserve from dangers;
In Thine arms may we repose;
And, when life's short day is past,
Rest with Thee in heaven at last.
