Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #369 (2013) Meter: 5.5.5.4 D Lyrics: 1 Now it is evening: lights of the city
bid us remember Christ is our light.
Many are lonely, who will be neighbor?
Where there is caring, Christ is our light.
2 Now it is evening: little ones sleeping
bid us remember Christ is our peace.
Some are neglected, who will be neighbor?
Where there is caring, Christ is our peace.
3 Now it is evening: food on the table
bids us remember Christ is our life.
Many are hungry, Who will be neighbor?
Where there is sharing, Christ is our life.
4 Now it is evening: here in our meeting
may we remember Christ is our friend.
Some may be strangers, who will be neighbor?
Where there’s a welcome, Christ is our friend. Topics: Care; City; Friendship; Mission; Neighbors; Peace; Peace of Jesus Christ; Sharing Languages: English Tune Title: EVENING HYMN
