Hail, Tranquil Hour Of Closing Day

Author: Leonard Bacon Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 66 hymnals First Line: Hail tranquil hour of closing day! Lyrics: 1 Hail tranquil hour of closing day! Begone, disturbing care! And look, my soul, from earth away To Him who heareth prayer. 2 How sweet the tear of penitence, Before His throne of grace, While, to the contrite spirit’s sense, He shows His smiling face. 3 How sweet, through long remembered years, His mercies to recall, And, pressed with wants and griefs and fears, To trust His love for all. 4 How sweet to look, in thoughtful hope, Beyond this fading sky, And hear Him call His children up To His fair home on high. 5 Calmly the day forsakes our heaven To dawn beyond the west; So let my soul, in life’s last even, Retire to glorious rest.
