<p>The translation below, by <a href="./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_m_a_massie_r.html" target="_blank">Richard Massie</a> (1800-1887), appeared in the 1857 edition of William Mercer’s <em>The Church Psalter and Hymn Book</em>. Other translators of this hymn include John Kelly, who translated all 12 verses in his <em>Paul Gerhardt’s Spiritual Songs</em> (London, 1867) and Herman Brueckner, whose translation appeared in <em>American Lutheran Hymnal</em>, 1930. Ironically, Brueckner’s translation

<p>Evening and morning, sunset and dawning,<br>
|
|
Wealth, peace and gladness, comfort in sadness,<br>
|
|
These are Thy works; all the glory be Thine!<br>
|
|
Times without number, awake or in slumber,<br>
|
|
Thine eye observes us, from danger preserves us,<br>
|
|
Causing Thy mercy upon us to shine.</p>
|
|
<p>Father, O hear me, pardon and spare me;<br>
|
|
Calm all my terrors, blot out my errors,<br>
|
|
That by Thine eyes they may no more be scanned.<br>
|
|
Order my goings, direct all my doings;<br>
|
|
As it may please Thee retain or release me;<br>
|
|
All I commit to Thy fatherly hand.</p>
