The day is slowly wending Toward its silent ending, But mid the light declining The evening star is shining: Refrain O Father, while we sleep, Thy children keep! Beneath Thy mighty caring The birds and beasts are sharing, The love that sends the showers, The hand that gives the flowers: Refrain Though long our day of testing, Now comes the hour of resting, May weariness and sadness Be lulled to peace and gladness: Refrain The Savior???s cross is winning Forgiveness for the sinning, And while we kneel confessing, We humbly wait Thy blessing: Refrain All evil thoughts expelling, Now make in us Thy dwelling, O Spirit, pure and holy, Possess these hearts so lowly: Refrain
