1 At evening time it shall be light;
When fades the day of toil away,
No shadows deep, no weary night,
At evening time it shall be light.
At evening time it shall be light;
Immortal love from realms above,
Is breathing now the promise bright,
At evening time it shall be light.

2 At evening time it shall be light;
We’ll gather flowers from rural bowers,
O sacred hope of glory bright,
At evening time it shall be light.
At evening time it shall be light;
Sweet evening time of joy divine,
That makes the Christian life so bright,
At evening time it shall be light.

3 At evening time it shall be light;
No cares shall harm, no fears alarm;
If one in Christ, our souls unite;
At evening time it shall be light,
At evening time it shall be light;
The hearts will glow, no tears will flow,
It cannot lose its promise bright,
At evening time it shall be light.
