Author: John Mason Neale; Anatolius Hymnal: Church Book #520 (1890) Meter: 7.6.8 Hymnal Title: Church Book Lyrics: 1 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 save me through the coming night!
2 The toils of day are over:
I raise my heart to Thee;
And ask that free from peril
The hours of fear may be.
O Jesus, make their darkness light,
And guard me through the coming night!
3 Be Thou my soul’s Preserver,
O God! for Thou dost know
How many are the perils
Through which I have to go.
Lover of men, O hear my call,
And guard and save me from them all! Topics: Evening Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANATOLIUS
