Without a wish or thought Save that His will be done, Thus would I live; yet now One Sacred Trinity! One Lord Divine! May I be ever His, And He for ever mine. Amen. 161. 8-4, 8-4, 8-8, 8-4. GOD, Who madest earth and heaven, Darkness and light; Who the day for toil hast given, May Thine angel-guards defend us, Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, May we in Thy mighty keeping When the last dread call shall wake us God the Father, Son, and Spirit, Ever in the new creation May we sing of Thy salvation, Thy love confess! Amen. LORD OF LIFE, the guard and giver, Thou who slumb'rest nót, nor sleepest, Through night's curtains round us closing Trustful then, though all unworthy, Weary wé lie down before Thee. Let Thine angels without number Grant to those in pain, that languish, Sleep to soothe the heart's sore aching. Thou that ever wakeful livest, Night by night, then, sénd to ease us SWEET SAVIOUR, bless us 'ere we go, Thy word into our minds instil, And make our lukewarm hearts to glow With lowly love and fervent will; Through life's long day and death's dark night, O, gentle Jesus, be our light. The day is gone, its hours have run, Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways Through life's long day and death's dark night, Do more than pardon-give us joy, Labour is sweet for Thou hast toiled, With strife, or by deceit ensnared; Through life's long day and death's dark night, O, gentle Jesus, be our light. For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto Thee we call: O let Thy mercy make us glad,— Thou art our Jesus, and our all; Through life's long day and death's dark night, O, gentle Jesus, be our light. Amen. Lord's Day and Public Worship. 164. On this day, the first of days, 7's.
