1. Come, let us sing an evening hymn To calm our minds for rest; And each one try, with single eye, To praise the Savior best.
2. Yea, let us sing a sacred song To close the passing day; With one accord call on the Lord And ever watch and pray.
3. O thank the Lord for grace and gifts Renewed in latter days, For truth and light to guide us right In wisdom’s pleasant ways;
4. For every line we have received To turn our hearts above, For every word and every good That fill our souls with love.
5. O let us raise a holier strain, For blessings great as ours, And be prepared while angels guard Us 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.
