844. Evening Star Up Yonder

1 Evening star up yonder,
Teach me like you to wander
Willing and obediently
The path that God ordained for me!
Evening star up yonder!

2 Teach me, gentle flowers
To wait for springtime showers;
In this winter world to grow
Great and strong beneath the snow,
Teach me gentle flowers.

3 Mighty ocean teach me
To do the task that needs me,
And reflect as days depart
Heaven's peace within my heart,
Mighty ocean teach me.

4 Shady lanes refreshing,
Teach me to be a blessing
To some weary soul each day,
Friends or foes who pass my way,
Shady lanes refreshing.

5 Evening sun, descending,
Teach me when life is ending,
Night shall pass, and I like you,
Shall rise again where life is new.
Teach me, sun descending.
