Once more ’tis eventide, and we,

Oppressed with various ills, draw near;

What if Thy form we cannot see?

We know and feel that Thou are here.

O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel;

For some are sick, and some are sad,

And some have never loved Thee well,

And some have lost the love they had.

. . . . . . . . .

Thy touch has still its ancient power,
