Day is done, but love unfailing
Dwells ever here,
Shadows fall, but hope prevailing
Calms ev’ry fear.
Loving Father none forsaking
Take our hearts or love’s own making;
Watch our sleeping, guard our waking,
Be always near.

Day descends, but light unending
Shines through our night;
You are with us, ever lending
New strength to sight,
One in love, your truth confessing,
One in hope of heaven's blessing,
May we see, in loves possessing,
Love's endless light.

Eyes will close, but you, unsleeping,
Watch by our side
Death may come, in love's safe keeping,
Still we abide.
God of love, all evil quelling,
Sin forgiving, fear dispelling
Stay with us, our hearts indwelling,
This eventide.
