Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

O Savior, bless us ere we go 

1. O Saviour, bless us ere we go; Thy word into our minds instill, And make our lukewarm hearts to glow With lowly love and fervent will. 

Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 

2. The day is [gone/done], its hours have run; And thou hast taken count of all, The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, the frequent fall. 

Through life's long day and death's dark night O gentle Jesus, be our light. 

3. Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways True absolution and release; And bless us, more than in past days, With purity and inward peace. 

Through life's long day and deaths dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 

4. Do more than pardon: give us joy, Sweet fear and sober liberty, And loving hearts with alloy That only long to be like Thee. 

Through life's long day and deaths dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 

5. For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto thee we call; O let thy mercy make us glad; Thou art our Saviour and our all. 

Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 

6. O Saviour, bless us; night is come; Through night and darkness near us be; Good angels watch about our home, And we are one day nearer thee. 

Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light.
