Come, Let Us Sing an Evening Hymn
Come, Let Us Sing an Evening Hymn
1. Come, let us sing an evening hymn
To calm our minds for rest;
And each one try, with single eye,
To praise the Savior best.
2. Yea, let us sing a sacred song
To close the passing day.
With one accord call on the Lord
And ever watch and pray.
3. O thank the Lord for grace and gifts
Renewed in latter-days,
For truth and light to guide us right
In wisdom’s pleasant ways;
4. For ev’ry line we have received
To turn our hearts above,
For ev’ry word and ev’ry good
That fill our souls with love.
5. O let us raise a holier strain,
For blessings great as ours,
And be prepared while angels guard
Us through our slumbering hours.
6. O may we sleep and wake in joy
While life with us remains,
And then go home beyond the tomb
Where peace forever reigns.
