Before the day's last moments fly

(one verse introduction)

Before the day's last moments fly,
Maker of all, to you we cry;
Beneath your kind protection take,
and shield us for your mercy's sake.

Let no ill dreams our souls alarm,
No power of night approach to harm;
Let us lie down and take our rest
In knowledge that your love is best.

Before the day's last moment fly,
Maker of all, to you we cry;
Beneath your kind protection take,
and shield us for your mercy's sake.

Let no ill dreams our souls alarm,
No power of night approach to harm;
Let us lie down and take our rest
In knowledge that your love is best.
