Savior, to Thee
We raise our hymn of glad­ness;
Once more at ev­en­ing’s hour
We look to Heav’n above;
Far, far be­hind
To leave earth’s toil and sad­ness—
So rest­ing on­ly
On Thy great re­deem­ing love.

May this day’s sins, we pray Thee,
All be par­doned;
Grant us Thy ab­so­lu­tion,
Give Thy grace to cheer;
O ne­ver let our hearts
By sin be harde­ned,
But keep our con­science ten­der,
Give us ho­ly fear.

Now day is done,
And all its la­bors ended,
Close Thou, O Lord,
Our wea­ry eyes in gen­tle sleep;
So may we ev­er be
By Thee de­fend­ed—
O may Thy guard­ian an­gels
Round us vi­gil keep!

Our souls re­store, re­new our pow’rs,
And make us strong in Thy strength
To rise and greet the morn­ing light;
And at the last,
O bless­èd Sav­ior, take us
To dwell with Thee
In that glad land
Which knows no night!
