22290. THE SUN DECLINES
Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
The sun declines; o’er land and sea Creeps on the night; The twinkling stars come one by one To shed their light; With Thee there is no darkness, Lord; With us abide, And ’neath Thy wings we rest secure This eventide.
Verse 2
Forgive the wrong this day we’ve done, Or tho’t, or said; Each moment with its good or ill To Thee has fled; O Father, in Thy mercy great Will we confide; Thy benediction now bestow This eventide.
Verse 3
And when with morning light we rise, Kept by Thy care, We’ll lift to Thee with grateful hearts Our morning prayer; Be Thou thru life our Strength and Stay, Our Guard and Guide To that dear home where there will be No eventide.
Coda
Amen.
