Darkness and light;
Who the day for toil hast given,
For rest the night;
May Thine angel guards defend us,
Slumber sweet Thy mercy send us;
Holy dreams and hopes attend us,
This livelong night.
2 When the constant sun returning
Unseals our eyes,
May we, born anew like morning,
To labor rise;
Gird us for the task that calls us,
Let not ease and self enthrall us,
Strong through Thee whate'er befall us,
O God most wise!
3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
And when we die,
May we in thy mighty keeping,
All peaceful lie;
When the last dread trump shall wake us,
Do not Thou, O God, forsake us,
But to reign in glory take us
With Thee on high.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: AR HYD Y NOS
