The Day Is Slowly Wending

Author: May Rowland, 1870-1959 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1232 Meter: 7.7.7.7.6.4 Refrain First Line: O Father, while we sleep Lyrics: 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] Languages: English Tune Title: VESPER HYMN (Rendle)
