| Text: | Father, the Watches of the Night Are O'er |
| Tune: | SONG 24 |
| Composer: | Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) |
1 Father, the watches of the night are o'er;
To light and life the soul has risen once more;
Blessed be Thou, who, through the helpless hours,
Hast kept in deepest peace her slumbering powers.
2 Father, the watches of the day are here;
More than from those of night have we to fear;
By rude cares troubled, by temptations pressed,
Through the day watches, Father, give us rest!
Amen.
