1 The happy sunshine now is gone,
The gloomy night comes swiftly on;
But shine Thou still, O Christ, our Light,
Nor let us lose ourselves in night.
The gloomy night comes swiftly on;
But shine Thou still, O Christ, our Light,
Nor let us lose ourselves in night.
2 We thank Thee that throughout the day
Thy angels watched around our way,
And free from harm and vexing fear
Have led us on is safety here.
Thy angels watched around our way,
And free from harm and vexing fear
Have led us on is safety here.
3 Whate'er of wrong we've done or said,
Let not the charge on us be laid;
That, through Thy free forgiveness blest,
In peaceful slumber we may rest.
Let not the charge on us be laid;
That, through Thy free forgiveness blest,
In peaceful slumber we may rest.
