8438. The Evening Winds Begin To Blow

1 The evening winds begin to blow,
The shadows now grow long;
But still we linger, ere we go,
To sing our latest song.

2 Sing praise to God for sun and shade,
For summer’s smiles and tears,
For all the blessings He has laid,
Upon our teeming years.

3 Sing to each other truer love,
Affection’s kindly glow,
The tenderness of God above
In human hearts below.

4 E’en as the dews now gently fall,
So, smiling on the day,
May God at eve upon us all
His benediction lay.
