Description

VONKK 310 – Skepper van die hemel, aarde  

Skepper van die hemel, aarde, donker en dag,

na ’n dag se werk en moeite, lewe en lag,

kniel ons voor U, Hemelvader,

smeek ons soos ons tot U nader:

Hou oor ons u Vaderhande, dwarsdeur die nag.

Waar ons op ’n nuwe môre rustig bly wag,

vra ons vir die dag wat voorlê, gee ons u krag.

Sterk ons vir ons nuwe dagtaak,

waar ons ander om ons aanraak.

Hou oor ons u Vaderhande, dwarsdeur die dag. 

 *  Strofe 1 is bedoel om as aandlied gesing te word en strofe 2 as oggendlied

  Engelse teks:

1.

 God, that madest earth and heaven,

darkness and light;

who the day for toil hast given,

for rest the night;

may thine angel guards defend us,

slumber sweet thy mercy send us,

holy dreams and hopes attend us,

this livelong night

 

And when morn again shall call us

to run life’s way,

may we still, whate’er befall us,

your will obey.

From the pow’r of evil hide us,

in the narrow pathway guide us,

never be your smile denied us

all through the day.

 

Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,

and, when we die,

may we in thy mighty keeping

all peaceful lie:

when the last dread call shall wake us,

do not thou our God forsake us,

but to reign in glory take us

with thee on high.

 

Holy Father, throned in heaven,

all-holy Son,

Holy Spirit, freely given,

blest Three in One:

grant us grace, we now implore you,

till we lay our crowns before you

and in worthier strains adore you

while ages run.
