The entire prayer I quoted yesterday is:
“O Lord, support us all the day long of this troublous life,
Until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes,
And the busy world is hushed;
The fever of life is over, and our work is done.
Then, Lord, in Thy mercy,
Grant us safe lodging, a holy rest, and peace at the last,
Through Jesus Christ, our lord, Amen.”
Until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes,
And the busy world is hushed;
The fever of life is over, and our work is done.
Then, Lord, in Thy mercy,
Grant us safe lodging, a holy rest, and peace at the last,
Through Jesus Christ, our lord, Amen.”
I used this often in late services. It so quietly and profoundly speaks to the soul troubled by sin and turmoil, finding its rest in Christ, the Savior.
