Behold The Western Evening Light

Author: William B. O. Peabody Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10407 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Behold the western evening light! Lyrics: 1 Behold the western evening light! It melts in deepening gloom: So calmly Christians sink away, Descending to the tomb. The winds breathe low, the withering leaf Scarce whispers from the tree; So gently flows the parting breath, When good men cease to be. 2 How beautiful on all the hills The crimson light is shed! ’Tis like the peace the Christian gives To mourners round his bed. How mildly on the wandering cloud The sunset beam is cast! ’Tis like the memory left behind When loved ones breathe their last. 3 And now above the dew of night The rising star appears: So faith springs in the heart of those Whose eyes are bathed in tears. But soon the morning’s happier light Its glory shall restore, And eyelids that are sealed in death Shall wake to close no more. Languages: English Tune Title: CAROLYN

Behold the western evening light!

Author: William B. O. Peabody Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #938 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Behold the western evening light! It melts in deepening gloom; So calmly Christians sink away, Descending to the tomb. 2 The winds breathe low, the yellow leaf Scarce whispers from the tree; So gently flows the parting breath When good men cease to be. 3 How mildly on the wandering cloud The sunset beam is cast! So sweet the memory left behind When loved ones breathe their last. 4 And lo! above the dews of night The vesper star appears; So faith lights up the mourner's heart, Whose eyes are dim with tears. 5 Night falls, but soon the morning light Its glories shall restore; And thus the eyes that sleep in death, Shall wake to close no more.
