To crown my faith before the night,

At evening time let there be light.

2 At evening time when labor’s past,

Though storms and toils have marred my day,

Mercy has tempered every blast,

And love and hope have cheered the way:

Now let the parting hour be bright;

At evening time let there be light.

3 God doth send light at evening time,

And bid the fears, the doubtings, flee.
