The Sun Declines

Verse 1

The sun declines; o’er land and sea Creeps on the night; The twinkling stars come one by one To shed their light; With Thee there is no darkness, Lord; With us abide, And ’neath Thy wings we rest secure This eventide.

Verse 2

Forgive the wrong this day we’ve done, Or thought, or said; Each moment with its good or ill To Thee has fled; O Father, in Thy mercy great Will we confide; Thy benediction now bestow This eventide. Amen.
