8.7.8.7.7.7 [72]Repose: John Stainer, 1875 Thomas Kelly, 1806 Through the day thy love has spared us; Hear us ere the hour of rest: Through the silent watches guard us, Let no foe our peace molest; Jesus, thou our guardian be; Sweet it is to trust in thee. Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers, Dwelling in the midst of foes; Us and ours preserve from dangers; In thine arms may we repose; And, when life's short day is past, Rest with thee in heaven at last. Amen. |
