1 Saviour, now the day is ending,
And the shades of evening fall,
Let Thy Holy Dove descending
Bring Thy mercy to us all;
Set Thy seal on every heart,
Jesus, bless us ere we part!
2 Bless the gospel message spoken,
In Thine own appointed way;
Give each fainting soul a token
Of Thy tender love to-day;
Set Thy seal on every heart,
Jesus, bless us ere we part!
3 Comfort those in pain or sorrow,
Watch each sleeping child of Thine;
Let us all arise to-morrow
Strengthened by Thy grace divine;
Set Thy seal on every heart,
Jesus, bless us ere we part!
4 Pardon Thou each deed unholy;
Lord, forgive each sinful thought;
Make us contrite, pure and lowly,
By Thy great example taught;
Set Thy seal on every heart,
Jesus, bless us ere we part!
