Lyrics
Verse 1 Day is done, but love unfailing Dwells ever here; Shadows fall, but hope prevailing, Calms ev'ry fear. Loving Father, none forsaking, Take our hearts, of love's own making, Watch our sleeping, guard our waking, Be always near. Verse 2 Dark descends, but light unending Shines through our night; You are with us, ever lending New strength to sight: One in love, your truth confessing, One in hope of heaven's blessing, May we see, in love's possessing, Love's endless light! Verse 3 Eyes will close, but you, unsleeping, Watch by our side; Death may come, in love's safekeeping Still we abide. God of love, all evil quelling, Sin forgiving, fear dispelling, Stay with us, our hearts indwelling, This eventide.
