Author: Ambrose (?), d. 397; John Ellerton; Fenton J. A. Hort Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #456 (1917) Hymnal Title: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church Lyrics: 1 O Strength and Stay upholding all creation,
Who ever dost Thyself unmoved abide,
Yet day by day the light in due gradation
From hour to hour through all its changes guide;
2 Grant to life’s day a calm unclouded ending,
An eve untouched by shadows of decay,
The brightness of a holy death-bed blending
With dawning glories of the eternal day.
3 Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving,
Through Jesus Christ Thy co-eternal Word,
Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living,
Now and to endless ages art adored.
Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Languages: English Tune Title: STRENGTH AND STAY
