O Christ, who art the light and day

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #557 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, who art the light and day, Thy beams chase night's dark shades away; The very Light of light Thou art, Who dost that blessed light impart. 2 All-holy Lord, to Thee we bend, Thy servants through this night defend, And grant us calm repose in Thee, A quiet night from perils free. 3 Let not dull sleep the soul oppress, Nor secret foe the heart possess. Nor Satan's wiles the flesh allure, And make us in Thy sight impure. 4 Light slumbers let our eyelids take, The heart to Thee be still awake; And Thy right hand protection be To those who love and trust in Thee. 5 O Lord, our strong defense, be nigh; Bid all the powers of darkness fly; Preserve and watch o'er us for good, Whom Thou hast purchased with Thy blood. 6 Remember us, dear Lord, we pray, Whilst burdened in the flesh we stay: Thou only canst the soul defend; Be with us, Savior, to the end. Topics: Family Prayer Evening Tune Title: [O Christ, who art the light and day]
