Author: Jakobina Johnson, b.1883; Steingrimur Thorsteinsson, 1830 - 1913 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #236 (1958) Lyrics: 1 The fading day adorns the west
And calls our waiting world to rest;
Thou Lord of light and all we know,
Thy calm and peace on us bestow.
2 O Lord, as silent shadows fall,
Thy loving-kindness shield us all;
And for thy children near and far
Set out o'er each a golden star. A-men.
3 Of thy protecting hand aware,
May all in sleep invite thy care;
And, strength renewed and darkness gone,
Behold with joy the light of dawn.
