Day’s Decline

1. ‘Tis now the hour our prayers to pour,
    So warns the day’s career:
‘Tis time to swell the canticle
    Of praise, Redeemer dear.

2. The soul make clean, the mind serene,
    And work the work divine:
In mercy weigh their prayers who pray,
    And endless life assign.

3. As one by one, when day is done,
    The summerlights still glow;
And, o’er the face of eve, their trace
    Of ruddy radiance throw;

4. So when the pall of night shall fall
    Around us and above,
With brightness cheer its mantle drear,
    And warm us with Thy love.

5. All praise to Thee, O Father, be,
    In this our day’s decline;
Eternal Son, all-holy One,
    And Spirit, praise be Thine.
