VERSE 1
Now the evening has come O! Lord,
We thank Thee Lord for Thy great care,
Throughout the day, it was Thy mighty hands,
That protected us till the eve of day.
VERSE 2
O! dear Father the night has come,
Protect us Father with Thy hands,
Let not Satan draw us with evil hands,
Till we see the morning joy as it comes.
VERSE 3
The night is full of tears and fears,
The evil ones turn night to day,
Thou great Father, shall never sleep at night,
Or allow evil draw Thy children nigh.
VERSE 4
Stretch forth Thy hands over us, Lord,
And protect us as binding cord,
As Thy children lie over Thy bosom,
Grant us all Thy peace, goodwill and freedom.
Amen
