Sabbath Evening

Author: S. F. Smith Appears in 216 hymnals First Line: Softly fades the twilight ray Refrain First Line: Holy Sabbath, softly fading Lyrics: 1 Softly fades the twilight ray, Of the holy Sabbath day; Gently as life’s setting sun, When the Christian’s course is run, When the Christian’s course is run. Refrain: Holy Sabbath, softly fading, Gently as life’s setting sun. 2 Night her solemn mantle spreads O’er the earth as daylight fades; All things tell of calm repose, At the holy Sabbath’s close, At the holy Sabbath’s close. [Refrain] 3 Peace is on the world abroad; ‘Tis the holy peace of God, Symbol of the peace within When the spirit rests from sin, When the spirit rests from sin. [Refrain] 4 Still the Spirit lingers near, Where the evening worshiper Seeks communion with the skies, Pressing onward to the prize, Pressing onward to the prize. [Refrain] 5 Saviour, may our Sabbaths be Days of joy and peace in Thee, Till in heav’n our souls repose, Where the Sabbath ne’er shall close, Where the Sabbath ne’er shall close. [Refrain] Topics: Joy Used With Tune: [Softly fades the twilight ray]
