| 1. God the Father! be thou near,
Save from every harm to-night;
Make us all thy children dear,
In the darkness be our light.
2. God the Saviour! be our peace,
Put away our sins to-night;
Speak the word of full release,
Turn our darkness into light.
3. Holy Spirit! deign to come!
Sanctify us all to-night;
In our hearts prepare thy home,
Turn our darkness into light.
4. Holy Trinity! be nigh!
Mystery of love adored,
Help to live, and help to die,
Lighten all our darkness, Lord!
