1 Into our darkness once you came, Jesus, our never-fading light; now as we come to bless your name judge us and save us, Lord, tonight. 2 One further day of grace has gone, joys to remember, sins to mourn, gifts overflowing, work undone for which the time will not return. 3 No age, no shadow now turns back; one span of life is ours to live: have mercy, Lord, for your name's sake help us redeem each hour you give. 4 Evening and morning you have joined as in the first of measured days; so let each dawn and sunset find your people greeting you with praise. 5 Soon we shall see you as you are, Jesus whom earth and angels bless, our midnight Hope, our morning Star, our glorious Sun of righteousness.
