At Evening Time It Shall Be Light

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1915
Composer: Howard Doane, 1915

At ev­en­ing time it shall be light;

When fades the day of toil away

No sha­dows deep

no wea­ry night

At ev­en­ing time it shall be light.

At ev­en­ing time it shall be light;

Immortal love from realms ab­ove

Is breath­ing now the pro­mise bright

At ev­en­ing time it shall be light.

At ev­en­ing time it shall be light;

We’ll ga­ther flow­ers from rur­al bow­ers

O sac­red hope of glo­ry bright

At ev­en­ing time it shall be light.

At ev­en­ing time it shall be light;

Sweet ev­en­ing time of joy di­vine

That makes the Christ­ian life so bright

At ev­en­ing time it shall be light.

At ev­en­ing time it shall be light;

No cares shall harm

no fears alarm;

If one in Christ

our souls unite;

At ev­en­ing time it shall be light

At ev­en­ing time it shall be light;

The hearts will glow

no tears will flow

It ca­nnot lose its pro­mise bright

At ev­en­ing time it shall be light.
