LyicsTHROUGH the day Thy love hath spar'd us;
Wearied we lie down to rest;
Through the silent watches guard us,
Let no foe our peace molest.
Father! Thou our guardian be;
Sweet it is to trust in Thee.
Wand'ring in the land of strangers,
Dwelling in the midst of foes,
Us and ours preserve from dangers;
In Thy love we all repose.
Father! Thou our guardian be;
Sweet it is to trust in Thee.
