| Text: | Evening hymn |
1 The daylight fades;
The evening shades
Are gath'ring round my head:
Father above,
I praise that love
Which smooths and guards my bed.
Father above,
I praise that love
Which smooths and guards my bed.
2 While thou art near
I need not fear
The gloom of midnight hour:
Blest Jesus, still
From every ill
Defend me with thy power.
Blest Jesus, still
From every ill
Defend me with thy power.
3 Pardon my sin
And enter in,
And sanctify my heart:
Spirit divine,
O make me thine,
And ne'er from me depart.
Spirit divine,
O make me thine,
And ne'er from me depart.
