1 Holy Father, cheer our way
With Thy love's perpetual ray:
Grant us ev'ry closing day
Light at evening-time.

2 Holy Saviour, calm our fears
When earth's brightness disappears:
Grant us in our later years
Light at evening-time.

3 Holy Spirit, be Thou nigh
When in mortal pains we lie:
Grant us as we come to die,
Light at evening-time.

4 Holy, blessèd Trinity,
Darkness is not dark to Thee:
Those Thou keepest always see
Light at evening-time.

Amen.
