MORNING AND EVENING HYMNS
IV
The day is over,
The darkness is come:
I thank thee, O Lord,
For the peace of home.
The darkness is come:
I thank thee, O Lord,
For the peace of home.
This night and ever
Keep my feet in Thy way:
Feet slow to follow Thee,
Feet quick to stray.
Keep my feet in Thy way:
Feet slow to follow Thee,
Feet quick to stray.
Oft wandering from Thee,
At Thy guidance I chafe;
Hold Thou me up,
I shall be safe.
At Thy guidance I chafe;
Hold Thou me up,
I shall be safe.
Sad shades of old sin
Dog my steps as I go:
What was done in the darkness,
In the daylight I know.
Dog my steps as I go:
What was done in the darkness,
In the daylight I know.
With the voice of the sea
Sin allures to the brink;
Stretch out Thine hand:
Let me not sink.
Sin allures to the brink;
Stretch out Thine hand:
Let me not sink.

Whom have I
In heaven but Thee?
And on earth there is none
Set beside Thee may be.
In heaven but Thee?
And on earth there is none
Set beside Thee may be.
Life soon is over,
And death will come:
Lord, linger not
In Thy heaven-home:
And death will come:
Lord, linger not
In Thy heaven-home:
As God, come in power
To judge us and bless:
As Man with man again,
Come in Thy tenderness.
To judge us and bless:
As Man with man again,
Come in Thy tenderness.
