Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Gather Comprehensive #651 (1994) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.4 Hymnal Title: Gather Comprehensive Lyrics: 1 So the day dawn for me, so the day break,
Christ watching over me, Christ as I wake,
Christ watching over me, Christ as I wake.
2 Be the day shine to me, be the day bright,
Christ my companion be, Christ be my light,
Christ my companion be, Christ be my light.
3 Be the day dark to me, be the day drear,
Christ shall my comfort be, Christ be my cheer,
Christ shall my comfort be, Christ be my cheer.
4 Be the day swift to me, be the day long,
Christ my contentment be, Christ be my song,
Christ my contentment be, Christ be my song.
5 So the day close for me, so the night fall,
Christ watching over me, Christ be my all,
Christ watching over me, Christ be my all.
