Hymnal: Voices of Praise #19 (1883) Lyrics: 1 When evening shadows gather, And twilight gently fades: When all is still and silent In midnight's darker shades; Then, O my God, be near me, Do Thou protect my bed; From evil and from danger Let Angels guard my head. 2 We know not, when we slumber, That we shall e'er awake, To see another day begin, Another dawning break: But Thou art ever watching, Thou wilt our vigils keep, And, trusting in Thy mercy, We sink in peaceful sleep. 3 But, ere our eyelids closing, We humbly seek Thy face, And pray for Thy forgiveness, And Thy sustaining grace: For we are weak and erring, And need Thy mighty power; O Jesus, ever guard us In dark temptation's hour. 4 We pray for those who languish In sickness and distress, That Thou wilt soothe their anguish, And their afflictions bless: We pray for those in peril Upon the mighty sea; We pray for friends and loved ones;-- Do Thou their Guardian be. 5 And now to Thee we render Our thanks for mercies past, With grateful hearts imploring Thy favour to the last. And at the great awakening May we be found above,-- With saints and angels praising Thy providence and love. Amen. Topics: Evening Languages: English Tune Title: S. FULDA
