darkening night the land doth cover - louise bourgeois lyrics

Loading...

dark’ning night the land doth cover;
day is over:
we give thanks, o thou most high
while with wonted hymn we adore thee
and implore thee
for the light that doth not die

like a day our short life hasteth:
soon it wasteth:
cometh surely its sad eve:
o do thou that eve enlighten
save and brighten:
nor old age of joy bereave:

come no pain nor pity near it:
bless and cheer it
that in peace we our peace win:
as thou wilt, do thou us gather
gracious father
only without shame and sin

now we pray for rеst that sleeping
in thy keeping
we may joy in the sun’s ray
so thro’ death’s last darknеss take us
so awake us
to heaven’s everlasting day
amen
