English (Original Language)
1. As the shadows fall, O Savior, Turn our thoughts and minds to thee. Help us, Lord, that we may strive for Peace, and find our rest in thee.
2. Father, please watch o’er our loved ones As the evening round them flows. Lord, accept our supplications; Be with us in our repose.
