Another day is past and gone

From Oremus Hymnal

Jump to: navigation, search

Another day is past and gone,
O God, we bow to thee;
again, as nightly shades come on
to thy defense we flee.

Forgive us all the evil done,
the good undone, today;
and keep us from the wicked one,
now, Father, and for aye.

When shall that day of gladness come,
ne'er sinking in the west;
that country and that blessèd home,
where none shall break our rest;

Where life shall be all love and peace,
and pleasure without end;
where golden harps that never cease
with joyous hymns shall blend;

Where we, O God, preserved beneath
the shelter of thy wing,
for evermore thy praise shall breathe,
and of thy mercy sing?
