Holy Father, cheer our way
With thy love's perpetual ray;
Grant us, every closing day,
Light at evening time.
Holy Saviour, calm our fears,
When earth’s brightness disappears;
Grant us, in our later years,
Light at evening time.
Holy Spirit, be thou nigh,
When in mortal pains we lie;
Grant us, as we come to die,
Light at evening time.
Holy, blessèd Trinity!
Darkness is not dark with thee;
Those thou keepest always see
Light at evening time.
