Text: | Holy Father, cheer our way |
Author: | Richard Hayes Robinson |
Tune: | VESPER |
Composer: | John Stainer |
1 Holy Father, cheer our way
With Thy love’s perpetual ray;
Grant us every closing day
Light at evening time.
2 Holy Saviour, calm our fears
When earth’s brightness disappears;
Grant us in our latter years
Light at evening time.
3 Holy Spirit, be Thou nigh
When in mortal pains we lie;
Grant us, as we come to die,
Light at evening time.
4 Holy, Blessèd Trinity,
Darkness is not dark to Thee;
Those Thou keepest always see
Light at evening time.
Amen.
