Another day has passed along,
And we are nearer to the tomb,
Nearer to join the heavenly song,
Or hear our everlasting doom.
These moments of departing day,
When thought is calm and labours cease,
Are solemn times to praise and pray,
To ask for pardon and for peace.
Thou God of mercy swift to hear
More swift than man to tell his need,
Be thou to us this evening near,
And to thy throne our spirits lead.
Teach us to pray, and having taught,
Grant us the blessings that we crave;
Without thy teaching prayer is nought,
But with it powerful to save.
