The Day Is Past and Over
"For the day goeth away." - Jer 6:4
VERSE 1
The day is past and over;
All thanks, O Lord, to Thee;
We pray Thee now that sinless
The hours of dark may be;
O Jesus, keep us in Thy sight,
And guard us through the coming night.
VERSE 2
The joys of day are over;
We lift our hearts to Thee,
And ask Thee that offenceless
The hour of dark may be;
O Jesus, make their darkness light,
And guard us through the coming night.
VERSE 3
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.
VERSE 4
Be Thou our soul's Preserver,
For thou, O God, dost know
How many are the perils
Awaiting us below,
O loving Jesus, hear our call,
And guard and save us from them all.
