Come, Let Us Sing an Evening Hymn

Lyrics

1. 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. 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. 3. Oh, 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. 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. 5. Oh, let us raise a holier strain

   For blessings great as ours,

   And be prepared while angels guard

   Us through our slumb’ring hours.

6. 6. Oh, may we sleep and wake in joy,

   While life with us remains,

   And then go home beyond the tomb,

   Where peace forever reigns.
