Once more 'tis eventide, and we,

Oppressed with various ills, draw near;
What if Thy form we cannot see
We know and feel that Thou art here.

3
O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel;

For some are sick, and some are sad;
And some have never loved Thee well;
And some have lost the love they had.

4
And some have found the world is vain,

Yet from the world they break not free;
And some have friends who give them pain,
Yet have not sought a Friend in Thee.

5
And none, O Lord, have perfect rest,

For none are wholly free from sin;
And they who fain would serve Thee best,

Are conscious most of wrong within.

1. Ho - ly Fa - ther, cheer our way With Thy love's per - pet - ual ray;

The day is done, its hours have run,

And Thou hast taken count of all,
The scanty triumphs grace bath won,
The broken vow, the frequent fall.

3
Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways

True absolution and release,
And bless us more than in past days

With purity and inward peace.

Hith-er came we in Thy light, Hence de-part-ing in Thy care.

A-men.

1. And now

the wants are told that brought Thy chil - dren to Thy knee;

Here linger-ing still, we ask for naught, But sim - ply wor-ship Thee.

A-men.
