Alternate Tunes
|
| 1. O Strength and Stay
upholding all creation,
Who ever dost Thyself
unmoved abide;
Yet day by day the
light in due gradation
From hour to hour through
all its changes guide.
2. Grant to life’s day
a calm unclouded ending,
An eve untouched
by shadows of decay,
The brightness of a
holy deathbed blending
With dawning glories
of the eternal day.
3. Hear us, O Father,
gracious and forgiving,
Through Jesus Christ
Thy co-eternal Word,
Who, with the Holy Ghost,
by all things living
Now and to endless ages art adored.
