The day is past and over,
All thanks, O Lord, to thee;
I pray thee now that sinless
The hours of dark may be,
O Jesus, keep me in thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.

The joys of day are over,
We lift our hearts to Thee,
And call on Thee that sinless
The hours of dark may be.
O Jesus, make their darkness light,
And guard us through the coming night.

The toils of day are over,
We raise our hymn to Thee,
And ask that free from peril-
The hours of dark may be-
O Jesus, keep us in Thy sight-
And guard us through the coming night

Be Thou our souls' Preserver,
O God, for Thou dost know
How many are the perils
Through which we have to go.
Lord Jesus Christ, O hear our call
And guard and save us from them all.
