Author: Reginald Heber; Richard Whately Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #19 (1899) Lyrics: 1 God, that madest earth and heaven,
Darkness and light;
Who the day for toil hast given,
For rest the night;
May Thine angel-guards defend us,
Slumber sweet Thy mercy send us,
Holy dreams and hopes attend us,
This livelong night.
2 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
And, when we die,
May we in Thy mighty keeping
All peaceful lie:
When the last dread call shall wake us,
do not Thou or God forsake us,
But to reign in glory take us
With Thee on high.
Amen. Topics: Evening; God Creator; God Defender; God Our Guardian Languages: English Tune Title: TEMPLE
