Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826; Richard Whately, 1787-1863 Hymnal: Common Praise #15 (2000) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 God, that madest earth and heaven,
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 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
and, when we die,
may we in thy mighty keeping
all peaceful lie:
When the last dread call shall wake us,
do not thou our God forsake us,
but to reign in glory take us
with thee on high. Topics: Evening Scripture: Genesis 1:1 Languages: English Tune Title: AR HYD Y NOS
