Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #567 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: To you before the close of day Lyrics: 1 To you, before the close of day,
Creator of the world, we pray.
Your grace and peace to us allow
and be our guard and keeper now.
2 Save us from troubled, restless sleep,
from all ill dreams your children keep;
so calm our minds that fears may cease
and rested bodies wake in peace.
3 A healthy life we ask of you,
the fire of love in us renew,
and when the dawn new light will bring,
your praise and glory we shall sing.
4 Creator, this we ask be done
through Jesus Christ, your only Son,
whom with the Spirit we adore,
with you, one God forevermore.
Amen. Topics: Evening; Evening Languages: English Tune Title: JAM LUCIS
