3While thine ear of love addressing,

Thus our parting hymn we sing,

Father, give thine evening blessing;

Fold us safe beneath thy wing.

92. C. M. Kippis' Coll.

Close of Evening Worship.

1Soon will our fleeting hours be past;

And, as the setting sun

Sinks downward in the radiant west,

Our parting beams be gone.
