59. Savior, now the day is ending

1 Savior, as the day is ending,
And the shades of evening fall,
Let Thy Holy Dove, descending,
Bring Thy mercy to us all;
Set Thy seal on every heart,
Jesus, bless us ere we part!

2 Bless the gospel message, spoken
In Thine own appointed way;
Give each fainting soul a token
Of Thy tender love today;
Set Thy seal on every heart,
Jesus, bless us ere we part!

3 Comfort those in pain or sorrow,
Watch each anxious child of Thine;
Let us all arise tomorrow
Strengthened by Thy grace divine;
Set Thy seal on every heart,
Jesus, bless us ere we part!

4 Pardon Thou each deed unholy;
Lord, forgive each sinful thought;
Make us contrite, pure, and lowly,
By Thy great example taught;
Set Thy seal on every heart;
Jesus, bless us ere we part.
