brings the night its peace profound;
let our vesper hymn be blending
with the holy calm around.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen.
2 Soon as dies the sunset glory,
stars of heav’n shine out above,
telling still the ancient story –
their Creator’s endless love.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen.
3 Now, our wants and burdens leaving,
to the Care that cares for all,
cease we fearing, cease we grieving;
quietly our burdens fall.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen.
4 As the darkness deepens o’er us,
lo, eternal stars arise;
hope and faith and love rise glorious,
shining in the Spirit’s skies.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: VESPER HYMN
