God, who made the earth and
heaven, Darkness and light:
You the day for work have
given, For rest the night.
May Your angel guards
defend us,
Slumber sweet Your mercy
send us,
Holy dreams and hopes
attend us
All through the night.
2
And when morn again shall
call us to run life's way,
May we still, what-e'er
befall us, Your will obey.
From the pow'r of evil hide
us,
In the narrow pathway guide
us,
Never be Your smile denied
us
All through the day.
3
Guard us waking, guard us
sleeping, And, when we die,
May we in Your mighty
keeping All peaceful lie.
When the trumpet call shall
wake us, Then,
O Lord, do not forsake us,
But to reign in glory take
us with You on high.
4
Holy Father, throned in
heaven, All holy Son,
Holy Spirit, freely given,
Blest Three in One:
Grant us grace, we now
implore You,
Till we lay our crowns
before You
And in worthier strains
adore You while ages run.
