1. Come, let us sing an evening hymnTo calm our minds for rest,And each one try, with single eye,To praise the Savior best.
2. Yea, let us sing a sacred songTo close the passing day,With one accord call on the Lord,And ever watch and pray.
3. O thank the Lord for grace and giftsRenewed in latter days,For truth and light to guide us rightIn wisdom’s pleasant ways;
4. For every line we have received,To turn our hearts above,For every word and every goodThat fill our souls with love.
5. O let us raise a holier strain,For blessings great as ours.And be prepared while angels guardUs through our slumbering hours.
6. O may we sleep and wake in joy,While life with us remains,And then go home beyond the tomb,Where peace forever reigns.
