|
|
<p>The shadows of the evening hours fall from the darkening sky;<br>
|
|
Upon the fragrance of the flowers the dews of evening lie;<br>
|
|
Before Thy throne, O Lord of heav’n, we kneel at close of day;<br>
|
|
Look on Thy children from on high, and hear us while we pray.</p>
|
|
<p>The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord, O do not now despise,<br>
|
|
But let the incense of our prayers before Thy mercy rise.<br>
|
|
The brightness of the coming night upon the darkness rolls;<br>
|
|
With hopes of future glory, chase the shadows from our souls.</p>
|
|
<p>Slowly the rays of daylight fade, so fade within our heart<br>
|
|
The hopes in earthly love and joy, that one by one depart.<br>
|
|
Slowly the bright stars, one by one, within the heavens shine:<br>
|
|
Give us, O Lord, fresh hopes in heaven, and trust in things divine.</p>
|
|
<p>Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God, upon our souls descend;<br>
|
|
From midnight fears and perils, now our trembling hearts defend.<br>
|
|
Give us a respite from our toil; calm and subdue our woes.<br>
|
|
Through the long day we labor, Lord, O give us now repose.</p>
