Hail, Tranquil Hour of Closing Day

Author: L. Bacon Hymnal: Gloria Deo #328 (1901) 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, thro’ long remembered years, His mercies to recall, And pressed by 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 ev’n, Retire to glorious rest.
