Author: Leonard Bacon Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10194 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Hail tranquil hour of closing day! Lyrics: 1 Hail tranquil hour of closing day!
Begone, disturbing care!
And look, my soul, from earth away
To Him who heareth prayer.
2 How sweet the tear of penitence,
Before His throne of grace,
While, to the contrite spirit’s sense,
He shows His smiling face.
3 How sweet, through long remembered years,
His mercies to recall,
And, pressed with wants and griefs and fears,
To trust His love for all.
4 How sweet to look, in thoughtful hope,
Beyond this fading sky,
And hear Him call His children up
To His fair home on high.
5 Calmly the day forsakes our heaven
To dawn beyond the west;
So let my soul, in life’s last even,
Retire to glorious rest. Languages: English Tune Title: TWENTY FOURTH
