Hymns, no. 58
Hark! The Evening Hymn Is Stealing

1. Hark! the evening hymn is stealing O’er the waters soft and clear; Nearer yet and nearer pealing, Soft it breaks upon the ear. Sing hosannah, sing hosannah, sing hosannah, Amen. Farther now, now farther stealing, Soft it fades upon the ear. Sing hosannah, Sing hosannah, Sing hosannah! Amen.

2. Now like moonlight waves retreating To the shore it dies along; Now like angry surges meeting, Breaks the mingled tide of song. Sing hosannah, sing hosannah, sing hosannah, Amen. Hark! again, like waves retreating, To the shore it dies along. Sing hosannah, Sing hosannah, Sing hosannah! Amen.
