O Christ, you are the light and day    

1) O Christ, you are the light and day;
you drive the gloom of night away;
grant, Light of light, your Word to show
the light of heav'n to us below.

2) Arise, O God, our shield, repel
the darts and subtleties of hell;
let your right hand, outstretched above,
guard those who serve the Lord they love.

3) All-holy Lord, in humble praye
r we ask tonight your watchful care
and pray that our repose may be
a quiet night, from perils free.

4) To God the Father and the Son
and Holy Spirit, Three in One,
be glory in the highest giv'n
by all on earth and all in heav'n.
