who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,
yet day by day the light in due gradation
from hour to hour through all its changes guide;
2 grant to life's day a calm unclouded ending,
an eve untouched by shadows of decay,
the brightness of a holy death-bed blending
with dawning glories of the eternal day.
3 Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving,
through Jesus Christ thy co-eternal Word,
who with the Holy Ghost by all things living
now and to endless ages art adored. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Evening Languages: English Tune Title: STRENGTH AND STAY
