Keep Us Safe is from Matthew Smith’s recently released Quiet Hymns.
The lyrics:
The day is past and gone, the evening shades appear
O may we all remember well, the night of death is near
We lay our garments by, upon our beds to rest
So death will soon disrobe us all of what we now possess
Lord, keep us safe this night, secure from all our fears
Beneath the wings of your love till morning light appears
And when we early rise and view the unwearied sun
May we set out to win the prize and after glory run
Lord, keep us safe this night, secure from all our fears
Beneath the wings of your love till morning light appears
And when our days are past and we from time remove
O may we in Your presence rest – the presence of your love
Lord, keep us safe this night, secure from all our fears
Beneath the wings of your love till morning light appears
