Text: | Now the Shades of Night are Gone |
Author (attributed to): | Samson Occum |
Tune: | VIENNA |
Composer: | Justin H. Knecht |
1 Now the shades of night are gone,
Now the morning light is come.
Lord, may we be Thine today;
Drive the shades of sin away.
2 Fill our souls with heav’nly light,
Banish doubt and cleanse our sight.
In Thy service, Lord, today
Help us labor, help us pray.
3 Keep our haughty passions bound,
Save us from our foes around;
Going out and coming in,
Keep us safe from ev'ry sin.
4 When our work of life is past,
Oh, receive us safe at last!
Night of sin will be no more
When we reach the heav’nly shore.
Amen.
