Night’s shadows falling men
to rest are calling;
Rest we, possessing
heav’nly peace and blessing:
This we implore Thee,
falling down before Thee,
Great King of Glory!
O Savior, hear us!
Son of God, be near us!
Thine angels send us;
let Thy love attend us:
He nothing feareth,
whom Thy presence cheereth,
Light his path cleareth.
Be near, relieving
all who now are grieving;
Thy visitation be our consolation:
O hear the sighing
of the faint and dying;
Lord, hear our crying!
Thou ever livest;
endless life Thou givest;
Thou watch art keeping
o’er Thy faithful sleeping;
In Thy clear shining
they are now reclining,
All care resigning.
O Lord of Glory,
praise we and adore Thee—
Thee for us given,
our true Rest from Heaven!
Rest, peace, and blessing,
we are now possessing,
Thy Name confessing.
