¶Lyrics / Text

1 Now God be with us, for the night is closing; The light and darkness are of His disposing, And 'neath His shadow here to rest we yield us, For He will shield us. 2 Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us; Till morning cometh, watch, O Father, o'er us; In soul and body Thou from harm defend us Thine angels send us. 3 Let holy thoughts be ours when sleep o'ertakes us; Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us; All day serve Thee; in all that we are doing Thy praise pursuing. 4 We have no refuge; none on earth to aid us Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us; But Thy dear Presence will not leave them lonely, Who seek Thee only. 5 Father, Thy name be praised, Thy kingdom given, Thy will be done on earth as 'tis in heaven; Keep us in life, forgive our sins, deliver Us now and ever
