<p>Softly fades the twilight ray,<br>
Of the holy Sabbath day;<br>
Gently as life&#8217;s setting sun,<br>
When the Christian&#8217;s course is run.</p>
<p>Peace is on the world abroad,<br>
&#8217;Tis the holy peace of God;<br>
Symbol of the peace within,<br>
When the spirit rests from sin.</p>
<p>Still the Spirit lingers near,<br>
Where the evening worshipper<br>
Seeks communion with the skies,<br>
Pressing onward to the prize.</p>
<p>Savior, may our Sabbaths be<br>
Days of peace and joy in Thee!<br>
Till in heav&#8217;n our souls repose,<br>
Where the Sabbath ne&#8217;er shall close.</p>
