O ye Nights and Days, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
Bless ye the Lord, O Nights and Days,
A dark-bright wreath for Him entwine:
“The days are Thine, the nights are Thine,”
And ring the changes of Thy praise.
Days weave for Thee their gladsome rays,
And nights with solemn lustre shine:
Bless ye the Lord, O Nights and Days,
A dark-bright wreath for Him entwine.
A dark-bright wreath for Him entwine:
“The days are Thine, the nights are Thine,”
And ring the changes of Thy praise.
Days weave for Thee their gladsome rays,
And nights with solemn lustre shine:
Bless ye the Lord, O Nights and Days,
A dark-bright wreath for Him entwine.
O may my days an anthem raise,
And songs resound from nights of mine—
Fair joys and gloomy griefs combine
To praise Him, Whose are all my ways:
Bless ye the Lord, O Nights and Days,
A dark-bright wreath for Him entwine.
And songs resound from nights of mine—
Fair joys and gloomy griefs combine
To praise Him, Whose are all my ways:
Bless ye the Lord, O Nights and Days,
A dark-bright wreath for Him entwine.
