Author: William A. Mühlenberg Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8491 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 The mellow eve is gliding
Serenely down the west;
So, every care subsiding,
My soul would sink to rest.
2 The woodland hum is ringing
The daylight’s gentle close;
May angels round me, singing,
Thus hymn my last repose.
3 The evening star has lighted
Her crystal lamp on high;
So, when in death benighted,
May hope illume the sky.
4 In golden splendor dawning,
The morrow’s light shall break;
Oh, on the last bright morning,
May I in glory wake! Languages: English Tune Title: YARMOUTH
The Mellow Eve Is Gliding
