"Ere we go"

Faber Appears in 342 hymnals Topics: Blessing sought First Line: Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go Refrain First Line: Through life's long day Lyrics: 1 Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go: Thy word into our minds instill: And make our lukewarm hearts to glow With lowly love and fervent will. Refrain: Through life's long day, And death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 2 The day is gone, its hours have run, And thou hast taken count of all, The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, the frequent fall. [Refrain] 3 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways True absolution and release; And bless us more than in past days With purity and inward peace. [Refrain] 4 Do more than pardon; give us joy, Sweet fear, and sober liberty, And simple hearts without alloy That only long to be like thee. [Refrain] 5 For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful unto thee we call; Oh, let thy mercy make us glad: Thou art our Jesus, and our all. Used With Tune: MATTHIAS
