The King of Glory ‎#271

271. Now the Day is Ending

1 Savior, now the day is ending,
And the shades of ev’ning fall;
Let Thy holy love descending,
Bring Thy mercy to us all.

Refrain:
Bless the gospel message spoken,
In Thine own appointed way;
Give each fainting soul a token
Of Thy tender love today.

2 Comfort those in pain or sorrow,
Watch each sleeping child of Thine;
Let us all arise, tomorrow,
Strengthened by Thy grace divine. [Refrain]

3 Pardon Thou each deed unholy,
Lord, forgive each sinful tho’t;
Make us contrite, pure and lowly,
By Thy great example taught. [Refrain]
