Author: Francis T. Palgrave Hymnal: The Hymnal #46 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Light of life, O Saviour dear,
Before we sleep bow down Thine ear:
Through dark and day, o'er land and sea,
We have no other hope but Thee.
2 Oft from Thy royal road we part,
Lost in the mazes of the heart:
Our lamps put out, our course forgot,
We seek for God, and find Him not.
3 What sudden sunbeams cheer our sight!
What dawning risen upon the night!
Thou giv'st Thyself to us, and we
Find guide and path and all in Thee.
4 Through day and darkness, Saviour dear,
Abide with us, more nearly near;
Till on Thy face we lift our eyes,
The Sun of God's own Paradise.
Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Christ Abiding with Believers; Christ Light, Our; Christ Presence, His Living; Christ Guide, Our; Evening hymns; Worship Evening Tune Title: ABENDS
