Evening Prayers, Glenfall House

Day is done,but love unfailing dwells ever here;

Shadows fall, but hope prevailing, calms every fear.

God our Maker, none forsaking

take our hearts of Love’s own making

Watch our sleeping, guard our waking, be always near

sunset

Dark descends, but light unending shines through our night

You are with us, ever lending new strength to sight

One in love, your truth confessing,

one in hope of heaven’s blessings,

may we see, in love’s possessing, love’s endless light

night sky

Eyes will close, but you unsleeping watch by our side

Death may come, in Love’s safe keeping still we abide

God of love all evil quelling

Sin forgiving, fear dispelling

Stay with us, our hearts indwelling, this eventide
