The hours of evening close

Author: Conder Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 The hours of evening close; Its lengthened shadows, drawn O'er scenes of earth, invite repose, And wait the Sabbath dawn. 2 So let its calm prevail O'er forms of outward care; Nor thought for many things assail The still retreat of prayer. 3 Our guardian Shepherd near His watchful eye will keep; And safe from violence or fear Will fold his flock to sleep. 4 So may a holier light Than earth's our spirits rouse, And call us, strengthened by his might, To pay the Lord our vows.

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 658 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar Lyrics: 1 Thus far the Lord has led me on, Thus far his power prolongs my days; And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorial of his grace. 2 Much of my time has run to waste, And I perhaps am near my home; But he forgives my follies past, He gives me strength for days to come. 3 I lay my body down to sleep; Peace is the pillow for my head; While well-appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed. 4 Thus when the night of death shall come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound.
