English text
1.#And now this holy day
Is drawing to its end,
Once more, to Thee, O Lord,
Our thanks and prayers we send.
2.#We thank Thee for this rest
From earthly care and strife;
We thank Thee for this help
To higher, holier life.
3.#We thank Thee for Thy house;
It is Thy palace-gate
Where Thou, upon Thy throne
Of mercy, still dost wait.
4.#We thank Thee for Thy Word,
Thy Gospel’s joyful sound;
Oh, may its holy fruits
Within our hearts abound!
5.#Yet, ere we go to rest,
Father, to Thee we pray,
Forgive the sins that stain
E’en this Thy holy day.
6.#Through Jesus let the past
Be blotted from Thy sight,
And let us all now sleep
At peace with Thee this night.
7.#To God the Father, Son,
And Spirit glory be,
From all in earth and Heav’n,
Through all eternity.
