Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church #139 (1902) Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6 Lyrics:
See where the orb of day
In glory sinks to rest,
The clouds of gold and purple crown
The mountains of the west;
And eve in silence brings
The night on dusky wings.
It is the hour of peace,
And hearts to heaven ascend,--
Come with your burdens and your care,
To an unchanging Friend;
And let the passing day,
Bear all your fears away.
It is the hour of prayer;
Let every fault be known;
Unveil the secrets of the soul,
And every sin disown;
The blood for sinners spilt,
Shall bear away your guilt.
It is the hour of praise,
Let joy the stillness break;
And every grateful thought of God
To living song awake;
And saints in heaven shall bear
To God your fervent prayer.
The night in silence falls,--
O God to Thee be praise!
And to the Spirit and the Son,
Throughout the endless days;--
Eternal Three in One,
While endless ages run.
