Author: William J. Copeland, 1804-1885; Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #273 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, you are the light and day;
You drive the gloom of night away;
Grant, Light of light, your Word to show
The light of heav'n to us below.
2 Arise, O God, our shield, repel
The darts and subtleties of hell;
Let your right hand, outstretched above,
Guard those who serve the Lord they love.
3 All-holy Lord, in humble prayer,
We ask tonight your watchful care
And pray that our repose may be
A quiet night, from perils free.
4 To God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Be glory in the highest giv'n
By all on earth and all in heav'n!
