M. St. Gregory. Evening Hymn. |
1 Source of light and life divine! Thou didst cause the light to shine; Thou didst bring Thy sunbeams forth O'er Thy new-created earth. 2 Shade of night and morning ray Took from Thee the name of day: Now again the shades are nigh, Listen to Thy children's cry! 3 May we ne'er, by guilt depressed, Lose the way to endless rest; May no thoughts, corrupt and vain, Draw our souls to earth again. 4 Rather help them still to rise Where our dearest treasure lies; Help us in our daily strife, Make us struggle into life!
