1. The day is slowly wending
Toward its silent ending,
But mid the light declining
The evening star is shining:
Refrain
O Father, while we sleep,
Thy children keep!
2. Beneath Thy mighty caring
The birds and beasts are sharing,
The love that sends the showers,
The hand that gives the flowers: [Refrain]
3. Though long our day of testing,
Now comes the hour of resting,
May weariness and sadness
Be lulled to peace and gladness: [Refrain]
4. The Savior’s cross is winning
Forgiveness for the sinning,
And while we kneel confessing,
We humbly wait Thy blessing: [Refrain]
5. All evil thoughts expelling,
Now make in us Thy dwelling,
O Spirit, pure and holy,
Possess these hearts so lowly: [Refrain]
