Peacefully round us
the shadows are falling,
Glad be our praises
and trustful our prayer;
Hear us, O Lord,
on Thy providence calling,
Lighten our darkness,
and banish our care.
Hushed are the sheep bells
afar on the moorland,
O’er the still meadows
the night breezes sweep,
Faint fall the footsteps
in city and hamlet,
Safely the children
are folded in sleep.
Softly may weary ones
rest from their duty,
Bright be the dreams
of the troubled and worn,
While through the shades
beam the stars in their beauty,
Watching the world till
the breaking of morn.
Lord of the night,
let Thine angels defend us;
Sunshine and gloom
are alike unto Thee;
Lord of the day,
let Thy Spirit attend us,
Bless us and keep us
wherever we be.
