Heavenly Father, by whose care
Comes again this hour of prayer,
In the evening stillness, we
Grateful raise our hearts to Thee ;
To our spirits, as we bend,
Peace and holy comfort send.
Gladly we Thy Presence seek ;
Father ! to our spirits speak :
Call us from the world away ;
Still our passions reckless play;
On our inner darkness shine ;
Bend our wayward will to Thine.
In this quiet eventide
May our souls with Thee abide,
Own Thy presence, feel Thy power,
Through this consecrated hour ;
And from peaceful vesper-prayer
Purer, stronger spirits bear.
