Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book ‎#32

32. The happy sunshine all now is gone

1 The happy sunshine now is gone,
The gloomy night comes swiftly on;
But shine Thou still, O Christ, our Light,
Nor let us lose ourselves in night.

2 We thank Thee that throughout the day
Thy angels watched around our way,
And free from harm and vexing fear
Have led us on is safety here.

3 Whate'er of wrong we've done or said,
Let not the charge on us be laid;
That, through Thy free forgiveness blest,
In peaceful slumber we may rest.

4 Thy guardian angels round us place,
All evil from our couch to chase;
Our soul and body, while we sleep,
In safety, gracious Father, keep.
