Evening Prayer

Verse 1

Stealing from the world away, We are come to seek thy face; Kindly meet us, Lord, we pray, Grant us thy reviving grace.

Verse 2

Yonder stars that gild the sky Shine but with a borrowed light; We, unless thy light be nigh, Wander, wrapt in gloomy night.

Verse 3

Sun of Righteousness! dispel All our darkness, doubts, and fears; May thy light within us dwell, Till eternal day appears.

Verse 4

Warm our hearts in prayer and praise, Lift our every thought above; Hear the grateful songs we raise, Fill us with thy perfect love.
