Christ My Song - 673
Mid evening shadows let us all be watching - Laudes ad nocturnum (Gregory the Great/Ray Palmer/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Laudes ad nocturnum.
1. Mid evening shadows let us all be watching,
ever in psalms our deep devotion waking,
and with one voice hymns to the Lord, the Saviour,
sweetly be singing. (PDF - Midi)
2. That to the holy King our songs ascending,
we worthily with all his saints may enter
the heavenly Temple, joyfully partaking
life everlasting.
3. This grace O grant us, God-head ever blesséd,
of Father, Son and Holy Ghost in union,
whose praises be through earth's most distant regions
ever resounding.
