Hymnal: Laudes Domini #174 (1884) First Line: The Sabbath-day has reached its close Lyrics: 1 The Sabbath-day has reached its close,
Yet, Saviour, ere I seek repose,
Grant me the peace thy love bestows:
Smile on my evening hour.
2 Weary I come to thee for rest;
Hallow and calm my troubled breast;
Grant me thy Spirit for my guest:
Smile on my evening hour.
3 Let not the gospel seed remain
Unfruitful, or be sown in vain;
Let heavenly dews descend like rain:
Smile on my evening hour.
4 O Jesus, Lord enthroned on high,
Thou hearest the contrite spirit's sigh;
Look down on me with pitying eye:
Smile on my evening hour.
5 My only intercessor thou,
Mingle thy fragrant incense now
With every prayer, and every vow:
Smile on my evening hour.
6 And, oh, when time's short course shall end,
And death's dark shades around impend,
My God, my everlasting Friend,
Smile on my evening hour. Languages: English Tune Title: PASCAL
