Savior, to Thee We Raise Our Hymn

Savior

to Thee

We raise our hymn of glad­ness;

Once more at ev­en­ing’s hour

We look to Heav’n ab­ove;

Far

far be­hind

To leave earth’s toil and sad­ness—

So rest­ing on­ly

On Thy great re­deem­ing love.

May this day’s sins

we pray Thee

All be par­doned;

Grant us Thy ab­so­lu­tion

Give Thy grace to cheer;

O nev­er let our hearts

By sin be harde­ned

But keep our con­science ten­der

Give us ho­ly fear.

Now day is done

And all its la­bors end­ed

Close Thou

O Lord

Our wea­ry eyes in gen­tle sleep;

So may we ev­er be

By Thee de­fend­ed—

O may Thy guard­ian an­gels

Round us vi­gil keep!

Our souls re­store

re­new our pow’rs

And make us strong in Thy strength

To rise and greet the morn­ing light;

And at the last

O bless­èd Sav­ior

take us

To dwell with Thee

In that glad land

Which knows no night!
