Representative Text

1 At ev­en­ing time it shall be light;
When fades the day of toil away,
No sha­dows deep, no wea­ry night,
At ev­en­ing time it shall be light.
At ev­en­ing time it shall be light;
Immortal love from realms above,
Is breath­ing now the pro­mise bright,
At ev­en­ing time it shall be light.

2 At ev­en­ing time it shall be light;
We’ll ga­ther flow­ers from rur­al bow­ers,
O sac­red hope of glo­ry bright,
At ev­en­ing time it shall be light.
At ev­en­ing time it shall be light;
Sweet ev­en­ing time of joy di­vine,
That makes the Chris­tian life so bright,
At ev­en­ing time it shall be light.

3 At ev­en­ing time it shall be light;
No cares shall harm, no fears alarm;
If one in Christ, our souls unite;
At ev­en­ing time it shall be light,
At ev­en­ing time it shall be light;
The hearts will glow, no tears will flow,
It ca­nnot lose its pro­mise bright,
At ev­en­ing time it shall be light.
