All thanks, O Lord to thee; 
I pray thee that offenseless 
The hours of dark may be. 
O Jesus, keep me in thy sight, 
And save me through the coming night.  
2 The toils of day are over: 
I raise the hymns to thee, 
And ask that free from peril 
The hours of night may be. 
O Jesus, keep me in thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.  
3 Lord, that in death I sleep not,
 And lest my foe should say, 
"I have prevailed against him," 
Lighten mine eyes, I pray: 
O Jesus, keep me in thy sight, 
And guard me through the coming night.  
4 Be thou my soul's Preserver, 
O God, for thou dost know 
How many are the perils 
Through which I have to go 
Lover of men, O hear my call, 
And guard and save me from them all.  
Amen. Topics: The Church The Lord's Day Evening; Cast Out Fear; Preservation of Christians; Supplication For Protection Scripture: Psalm 4:8 Used With Tune: ST. ANATOLIUS (BROWN)
