Author: Nicolaus Hermann; Frances Elizabeth Cox Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #477 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Sunk is the sun's last beam of light,
And now the world is wrapt in night.
Christ, light us with Thy heavenly ray,
Nor let our feet in darkness stray.
2 Thanks, Lord, that Thou throughout the day
Hast kept all grief and harm away;
That angels tarried round about
Our coming in and going out.
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.
Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Languages: English Tune Title: INTERCESSION
