Lord, it is eventide: the light of day is waning;
Far o'er the golden land earth's voices faint and fall;
Lowly we pray to You for strength and love sustaining,
Lowly we ask of You Your peace upon us all.
O grant unto our souls -Refrain:
Light that grows not pale with day's decrease,
Love that never can fail till life shall cease;
Joy no trial can mar, Hope that shines afar,
Faith serene as a star, and Christ's own peace.2 Lord, it is eventide: we turn to You for healing,
Like those of Galilee who came at close of day;
Speak to our waiting souls, their hidden needs revealing;
Touch us with hands divine that take our sin away.
O grant unto our souls - [Refrain]3 Saviour, You know of every trial and temptation,
Know of the wilfulness and waywardness of youth,
Help us to hold to You, our strength and our salvation,
Help us to find in You the one eternal Truth.
O grant unto our souls - [Refrain]4 Lord, it is eventide: our hearts await Your giving,
Wait for that peace divine that none can take away,
Peace that shall lift our souls to loftier heights of living,
Till we abide with You in everlasting day.
O grant unto our souls - [Refrain]

Beautiful words.  Thank you for sharing this with us.

I am so glad that you enjoyed the word. I thought that I had deleted this because I could find no recording of this song.  Really not surprising because it is from a British hymnal from when we lived in China and we sang this at the end of the day just as we began the day with "When Morning Gilds the Skies."  I have always loved the words and often sang it at night to my children.  
 

Good afternoon, sisters.   As you know, I have just returned from our 2-1/2 week vacation and was not able to post on this thread while we were away.  However, this afternoon was the "official" celebration of Niecey's life for those in their local area who were not able to attend the funeral.  I thought it appropriate to post something in memorium to our favorite, fearless, fabulous Niece who fought the good fight....a special young lady with much determination and wisdom.  May she Rest In Peace.

And to April, her mom, who walked the journey selflessly, with grace and strength, never giving up or losing faith.  May you find peace in knowing your daughter is with the Lord, no longer suffering, and no doubt keeping the heavenly host laughing and entertained!  May God bless and sustain you In the coming days, months, and years. ❤️❤️❤️
