While sinks our land to realms of night
And twilight skies grow dim
We raise again our joyful hearts
Our parting evening hymn.
We bless Thee for the warm
rich glow
Of this our hallowed day
And for the love that year by year
Shines o’er our onward way.
And now
O Father
from on high
List to our evening prayer
Shed o’er our hearts a blissful calm
And keep us in Thy care.
