A-MEN. 2 The day is done, its hours have run; And Thou hast taken count of all, The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, the frequent fall. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our Light. 3 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways True absolution and release; And bless us, more than in past days, With purity and inward peace. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our Light. 4 Do more than pardon; give us joy, Sweet fear, and sober liberty, And loving hearts without alloy, That only long to be like Thee. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our Light. 5 For all we love, the poor, the sad, Thou art our Jesus, and our All. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our Light. Rev. Frederick W. Faber, 1849 73 SOLITUDE 7.7.7.7. Lewis T.
