EVENING WORSHIP

1.Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh;
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
2.Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With thy tend'rest blessing
May our eyelids close.
3.Grant to little children
Visions bright of thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.
4.Comfort every suff'rer
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sins restrain.
5.When the morning wakens
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In thy holy eyes.
A-MEN.

1.Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace;
O refresh us, O refresh us,
Trav'ling thro' this wilderness.
Ever faithful, Ever faithful
To the truth may we be found.
2.Thanks we give and adoration
For thy Gospel's joyful sound;
May the fruits of thy salvation
In out hearts and lives abound;
O refresh us, &c.
A-men
