1 The day is past and over;
All thanks, O Lord, to Thee,
I pray Thee now that sinless
The hours of dark may be;
O Jesu, keep me in Thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.
2 The joys of day are over;
I lift my heart to thee,
And ask Thee that offenceless
The hours of dark may be;
O Jesu, keep me in thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.
3 The toils of day are over;
I raise the hymn to thee,
And ask that free from peril
The hours of dark may be;
O Jesu, keep me in Thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.
4 Be Thou my soul's preserver,
For Thou alone dost know
How many are the perils
Through which I have to go;
O loving Jesu, hear my call,
And guard and save me from them all.
