Savior, to Thee We Raise Our Hymn

Ps.104.23

Savior, to Thee we raise our hymn of gladness;

Once more at evening’s hour we look to Heav’n above;

Far, far behind to leave earth’s toil and sadness—

So resting only on Thy great redeeming love.

May this day’s sins, we pray Thee, all be pardoned;

Grant us Thy absolution, give Thy grace to cheer;

O never let our hearts by sin be hardened,

But keep our conscience tender, give us holy fear.

Now day is done, and all its labors ended,

Close Thou, O Lord, our weary eyes in gentle sleep;

So may we ever be by Thee defended—

O may Thy guardian angels round us vigil keep!

Our souls restore, renew our pow’rs, and make us

Strong in Thy strength to rise and greet the morning light;

And at the last, O blessed Savior, take us

To dwell with Thee in that glad land which knows no night!
