Text: | The Day Departs, Yet Thou Art Near |
Author: | Frans Mikael Franzen |
Tune: | AUGUSTANA |
Composer: | August Norrbom |
1 The day departs, yet Thou art near;
With Thee at hand, we have no fear.
By night Thine eyes their vigil keep,
When our faint eyes are closed in sleep.
2 We rest secure beneath Thy hand,
Protector of our home and land.
To guard Thy children's peaceful rest,
Around them stand Thine angels blest.
3 They sweetly sleep who fear the Lord
And walk obedient to His Word;
They wake again in joyous mood
To praise the Lord, their Father good.
Amen.
