Greek HymnsThe Day is Past and Over
T
All thanks, O Lord, to Thee;
I pray Thee now that sinless
The hours of dark may be:
And guard me through the coming night.
I lift my heart to Thee,
And ask Thee that offenceless
The hours of dark may be:
O Jesu, keep me in Thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.
I raise the hymn to Thee
And ask that free from peril
The hours of dark may be:
O Jesu, keep me in Thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.
For Thou alone dost know
How many are the perils
Through which I have to go:
O loving Jesu, hear my call,
And guard and save me from them all.
