Author: Rev. John Humberger Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #323 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Now say good night! O Father be
My refuge still; to Thee I flee.
When darkness, death, and terrors rise,
Thy grace shall still for me suffice.
2 All praise to Christ my Savior give,
For He this day hath let me live
My life away in His dear name:
"To live is Christ, to die is gain."
3 O Holy Ghost, Thy grace impart,
To rest in Christ my troubled heart.
O sweet the rest Thy grace goth bring,
And bids me to my Saviour cling.
4 Now say good night! May angels bright
Kep watching o'er me through the night,
And spread their guardian, heavenly wings,
O'er these my wearied, slumb'ring limbs.
5 "And now I lay me down to sleep;
I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray, Thee, Lord, my soul to take."
6 Now say good night! To all, good night!
God keep you safe till morning's light,
That with His praise you all may wake;
"And this I ask for Jesus sake." Topics: The Catechism Evening Languages: English Tune Title: NAZARETH (Melcombe)
