Author: Hans Chr. Stehn Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #43 (1927) Meter: 8.8.9.8.10.8 Topics: Morning and Evening Lyrics: 1 The gloomy night to morning yields,
So brightly the day is breaking;
The sun now ascends o'er woods and fields,
The birds are with song awaking.
God lend us His counsel and speed our days,
With grace unceasing surround us.
2 The Lord be praised for evermore
That He hath His peace us given,
And, ever in grief and troubles sore,
Hath sent us His light from heaven.
God lend us His counsel and speed our days,
With grace unceasing surround us.
3 On Easter morn, at break of day,
Our Lord from the grave ascended;
He open'd to life and light the way
And terrors of darkness ended.
God lend us His counsel and speed our days,
With grace unceasing surround us.
4 Redeem us, Lord, from death’s strong hand,
Thy grace us from sin deliver,
Enlighten us till with Thine we stand,
And make us Thy servants ever.
God lend us His counsel and speed our days,
With grace unceasing surround us.
5 Then shall with praise we seek repose,
When day unto night has yielded,
And safe in Thine arms our eyes we close
And rest by Thy mercy shielded.
God lend us His counsel and speed our days,
With grace unceasing surround us. Languages: English Tune Title: [The gloomy night to morning yields]
