Evening Hymn (Denison)

Daylight is fad­ing

twi­light is shad­ing

Meadow and hill with a deep­en­ing gray;

Heavenly Fa­ther

now as we ga­ther

Let us give thanks for the beau­ti­ful day.

Light of the morn­ing

bright in the dawn­ing

Blessings that come to us all the day long;

’Tis of Thy giv­ing

God of the liv­ing

That we can offer this ev­en­ing song.

But in its splen­dor

gra­cious and ten­der

Wondrous Thy love that can cast away fear;

Dearer and rar­er

rich­er and fair­er

Best of all gifts that Thou giv­est us here.
