Lyrics

Verse 1

When day’s shadows lengthen, Jesus, be Thou near; Pardon, comfort, strengthen, chase away my fear; Love and hope be deepened, faith more strong and clear.

Verse 2

When the night grows darkest, and the stars are pale, When the foemen gather in death’s misty vale, Be Thou sword and buckler, be Thou shield and mail.

Verse 3

So no fears shall chill me, on that unknown shore, For in death He conquered, and can die no more; His hand guards and guides me, to the heav’nly door.
