When the toil of day is done,
When the race of life is run,
Father, grant thy wearied one
Rest for evermore !
When the strife of sin is stilled,
When the foe within is killed,
Be Thy gracious word fulfilled
Peace for evermore !
When the darkness melts away
At the breaking of Thy day,
Bid us hail the cheering ray,
Light for evermore !
When the heart, by sorrow tried,
Feels at length its throbs subside,
Grant us, where all tears are dried,
Joy for evermore !
When for vanished days we yearn,
Days that never can return,
Teach us in Thy love to learn
Love for evermore !
When the breath of life is flown,
When the grave must claim its own,
Lord of life, be ours Thy crown
Life for evermore !
