Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #229 (1917) Lyrics: 1 The radiant morn hath passed away,
And spent too soon her golden store;
The shadows of departing day
Creep on once more.
2 Our life is but a fading dawn,
Its glorious noon how quickly past
Lead us, O Christ, when all is gone,
Safe home at last.
3 O by Thy soul-inspiring grace
Uplift our hearts to realms on high
Help us to look to that bright place
Beyond the sky,
4 Where light, and life, and joy, and peace,
In undivided empire reign,
And thronging angels never cease
Their deathless strain
5 Where saints are clothed in spotless white,
And evening shadows never fall;
Where Thou, Eternal Light of Light,
Art Lord of all. Topics: Brevity of Life; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening; Evening Hymns; Prayer Evening ; Life Brevity of Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GABRIEL
