* The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul.'

G
OD, that madest earth and heaven,

Darkness and light,
Who the day for toil hast given,

For rest the night,
тр

May Thine angel guards defend us,
Slumber sweet Thy mercy send us,
Holy dreams and hopes attend us,

This livelong night.
2 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping;
p

And, when we die,
May we, in Thy mighty keeping,
All peaceful lie.

• At evening time it shall be light.

p 3 Holy Spirit, be Thou nigh
With Thy love's perpetual ray;

When in mortal pains we lie;
Grant us every closing day

Grant us as we come to die
Light at evening time.

тр

Light at evening time. mp 2 Holy Saviour, calm our fears

4 Holy, blessèd Trinity,
When earth's brightness disappears;

Darkness is not dark with Thee;
Grant us in our latter years

Those Thou keepest always see
Light at evening time.

Light at evening time.

(Copyright, 1897, by Novello, Ewer de Co.)

• Thou shalt take thy rest in safety.' mp

VHROUGH the day Thy love has spared us;

Now we lay us down to rest.
Through the silent watches guard us,

Let no foe our peace molest;
Jesus, Thou our Guardian be;

Sweet it is to trust in Thee.
2 Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers,

Dwelling in the midst of foes,
Us and ours preserve from dangers ;

In Thine arms may we repose,
And, when life's brief day is past,
Rest with Thee in heaven at last.
