" It is Thou, LORD, only that makest me dwell in safety."

THE day is past and over;

All thanks, O LORD, to Thee; pray Thee now that sinless

I

The hours of dark may be:

O JESU, keep me in Thy sight,

And guard me through the coming night.

The joys of day are over;

I lift my heart to Thee, And ask Thee that offenceless The hours of dark may be:

0 JESU, keep me in Thy sight,

And guard me through the coming night.

The toils of day are over;

I raise the hymn to Thee, And ask that free from peril The hours of dark may be:

0 JESU, keep me in Thy sight,

And guard me through the coming night.

Lighten mine eyes, O SAVIOUR,

Or sleep in death shall I, And he, my wakeful tempter, Triumphantly shall cry

Against him I have now prevailed; Rejoice the child of Gop has failed."

Be Thou my soul's preserver. For Thou alon dost know How many are the perils

Through which I have to go: () loving JESU, hear my call, And guard and save me from them all.
