The happy sunlight now is gone    

1) The happy sunlight now is gone,
the shadows of night are falling;
o Jesus Christ, our Lord alone,
stay thou with us till the morning.
Make our hearts glad, Lord, in thy heav'n!

2) Our faithful shepherd thou Wilt be
Who never will leave nor fail us;
we can rely and trust in thee
when grief or danger assail us.
Make our hearts glad, Lord, in thy heav'n!

3) Our souls to thee we now commend
as softly our eyes are closing.
Be thou our rock, Our guardian, friend,
while we in Sleep are reposing.
Make our hearts glad, Lord, in thy heav'n!

4) So in the morn we'll sing thy praise,
thy goodness With joy con fessing,
until in heav'n fore'er we raise
our thanks to thee for thy blessing.
Make our hearts glad, Lord, in thy heav'n!
