At Evening Time

Representative Text

1 He knoweth well the way I take,
I walk by faith for His dear sake;
His will is best, His way is right;
At evening time it shall be light!

Refrain:
At evening time it shall be light;
In that blest land there is no night;
The path He chose is best for me,
For it shall lead me home.

2 Sometimes with eyes bedimmed with tears,
I wonder if my Father hears;
My anxious heart He quickly stills,
My souls with wondrous peace He fills. [Refrain]

3 When in the valley He doth lead,
And there my God supplies each need;
He talks with me along the way,
And gives me strength for ev’ry day. [Refrain]

4 Here in the shadow-land I’ll wait;
My work I’ll do, tho’ small or great,
Content to know my Lord is near;
In sun or shade I’ll know no fear. [Refrain]
