And make our luke-warm hearts to glow With low-ly love and fer - vent will.

Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be

our Light. 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,
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.

Rev. Frederick W. Faber, 1849

2 Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way;
With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day:
Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
That in this house have called upon Thy Name.

3 Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming night;
Turn Thou for us its darkness into light;
From harm and danger keep Thy children free,
For dark and light are both alike to Thee.

4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life,
Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife;
Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.

6 Tarry with me, O my Saviour,
Lay my head upon Thy breast

Till the morning; then awake me-
Morning of eternal rest.
