Hymn 012 – O SAVIOUR, bless us ere we go | C&S English Hymnary

1. O SAVIOUR, bless us ere we go Thy word into our minds instill And make our lukewarm hearts to glow With lowly love and fervent will. Chorus: Through life’s long day and death’s dark nightO gentle Jesus, be our light. 2. The day is gone, its hours have run And Thou hast taken count of all The scanty triumphs grace hath won The broken vow, the frequent fall. Chorus: Thraugh life's long day... 3. Forgive us, Lord, yea, give us joy Sweet fear, and sober liberty And loving hearts without alloy That only long to be like Thee. Chorus: Thraugh life's long day... 4. Labour is sweet, for Thou has toiled And care is light, for Thou hast cared Let not our works with strife be soiled Nor in unsimple ways ensnared. Chorus: Thraugh life's long day... 5. For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto Thee we call Oh let Thy mercy make us glad Thou an our Saviour, and our all. Chorus: Thraugh life's long day... 6. O Saviour, bless us; night is come Thy holy Presence with us be Good angels watch about our home And we are one day nearer Thee. Chorus: Thraugh life's long day.. AMEN
