Father, The Watches Of The Night Are Over;
To Light And Life The Soul Has Risen Once More;
Blessed Be Thou, Who, Through The Helpless Hours,
Hast Kept In Deepest Peace Her Slumbering Powers.

Father, The Watches Of The Day Are Here;
More Than From Those Of Night Have We To Fear;
By Rude Cares Troubled, By Temptations Pressed,
Through The Day Watches, Father, Give Us Rest!
