Laudes Domini ‎#167

167. "Bless us this eve!"

1 O Father, who didst all things make
That heaven and earth might do thy will,
Bless us this eve for Jesus’ sake,
And for thy work preserve us still.

2 O Son, who didst redeem mankind,
And set the captive sinner free,
Keep us this eve with peaceful mind,
That we may safe abide in thee.

3 O Holy Ghost, who by thy power
Dost sanctify the church elect,
Seal us this eve, and hour by hour
Our bodies guard, our souls direct.

4 Praise to the Father, and the Son,
O Spirit, equal praise to thee:
All glory be to God alone,
Now, and throughout eternity!
