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!
