As daylight fades (Evensong)
1 As daylight fades to grey, time slows down.
I look back on this day and trace your presence now.
For all you've done, seen, unseen,
I'll treasure in my sleeping.
2 Those I have met today, friends I know;
strangers and family I bring before you now,
for every one, weak and strong
are treasured in your keeping.
3 Lord, where those anxious thoughts fill my mind,
where words taste bitter now and hurt is left behind.
Lord, grant your peace and forgive;
my treasure is your healing.
4 When night gives way to dawn, I may face
hard choices to be made or 'just another day'.
But God is here, Lord of all;
our treasure is you with us.
