Laudes Domini ‎#176

176. "Keep us!"

1 Another day is past and gone,
O God, we bow to thee;
Again, as nightly shades come on,
To thy defence we flee.

2 Forgive us all the evil done,
The good undone, to-day;
And keep us from the Wicked One,
Now, Father, and for aye.

3 When shall that day of gladness come,
Ne'er sinking in the west;
That country and that blessèd home,
Where none shall break our rest;--

4 Where we, O God, preserved beneath
The shelter of thy wing,
For evermore thy praise shall breathe,
And of thy mercy sing?
