The sun declines; o’er land and sea
Creeps on the night
The twinkling stars come one by one
To shed their light
With Thee there is no darkness, Lord
With us abide
And ’neath Thy wings we rest secure
This eventide
And when with morning ligt we rise
Kept by Thy care
We'll lift to Thee with greateful hearts
Our morning prayer
Be Thou thro' life our strength and stay
Our guard and guide
To that dear home where there will be
No eventide

Alternate verse:
Forgive the wrong this day we’ve done
Or thought, or said
Each moment with its good or ill
To Thee has fled
O Father, in Thy mercy great
Will we confide
Thy benediction now bestow
This eventide
|
