As the Twilight Shadows

1 As the twilight shadows fall,
Let us, in the closing day,
Mark the solemn hour when all
Earthly things shall fade away.

2 In the grave to which we haste,
No repentance can be found;
Shall we then our moments waste
While we stand on trial-ground?

3 Ere the coming of that night,
(When its coming who can say?)
Let us do with all our might,
Strive and labor, watch and pray.

4 Lord, do thou thy grace impart;
Penitence and faith bestow!
Come and sanctify each heart,
Let us thy salvation know.

5 That when waning years have fled,
And these scenes have passed away,
Rising with the summoned dead,
We may wake to endless day.
