RCCG Hymn 800
The Day Is Past and Over
"For the day goeth away." - Jer 6:4
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.
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.
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.
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.
