Representative lyrics

English (Original Language)

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. Oh, 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 ev’ry line we have received To turn our hearts above, For ev’ry word and ev’ry good That fill our souls with love.

5. Oh, let us raise a holier strain For blessings great as ours, And be prepared while angels guard Us through our slumb’ring hours.

6. Oh, may we sleep and wake in joy, While life with us remains, And then go home beyond the tomb, Where peace forever reigns.
