Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #540 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Now the shades of night are gone,
Now the morning light is come;
Lord, may I be Thine today,
Drive the shades of sin away.
2 Fill my soul, O Christ, with light,
Banish doubt and cleanse my sight,
In Thy service, Lord, today,
Help me labor, help me pray.
3 Keep my haughty passions bound;
Save me from my foes around;
Going out and coming in,
Keep me safe from every sin.
4 When my work of life is past,
O receive me then at last!
Night of sin will be no more,
When I reach the heavenly shore. Topics: Family Prayer Morning; Family Prayer Morning Tune Title: [Now the shades of night are gone]
