God The Father! Be Thou Near,
Save From Every Harm To-Night;
Make Us All Thy Children Dear,
In The Darkness Be Our Light.
God The Saviour! Be Our Peace,
Put Away Our Sins To-Night;
Speak The Word Of Full Release,
Turn Our Darkness Into Light.
Holy Spirit! Deign To Come!
Sanctify Us All To-Night;
In Our Hearts Prepare Thy Home,
Turn Our Darkness Into Light.
Holy Trinity! Be Nigh!
Mystery Of Love Adored,
Help To Live, And Help To Die,
Lighten All Our Darkness, Lord!
