Hymnal: Laudes Domini #209 (1884) First Line: Now God be with us, for the night is closing Lyrics: 1 Now God be with us, for the night is closing,
The light and darkness are of his disposing;
And 'neath his shadow here to rest we yield us;
For he will shield us.
2 Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us,
Till morning cometh, watch, O Father! o'er us;
In soul and body thou from harm defend us,
Thine angels send us.
3 Let pious thoughts be ours when sleep o'ertakes us;
Our earliest thoughts be thine when morning wakes us;
All sick and mourners, we to thee commend them,
Do thou befriend them.
4 We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us,
But thee, O Father! who thine own hast made us;
But thy dear presence will not leave them lonely
Who seek thee only. Languages: English Tune Title: NIGHTFALL
"Lord everlasting"
