Behold, the shade of night departs

From Oremus Hymnal

Behold, the shade of night departs,
and beauteous shines the day;
then to the Lord with grateful hearts
let us unite to pray:

To pray for pardon of the past,
for grace from sin to cease;
for guidance now, and at the last
for never-ending peace.

These blessings grant, O Father, Son,
and Spirit, God of grace,
to whom be praise, blest Three in One,
in every time and place.
