Now, on Land and Sea Descending

Now

on land and sea des­cend­ing

Brings the night its peace pro­found;

Let our ves­per hymn be blend­ing

With the ho­ly calm around.

Jubilate! Ju­bi­la­te! Ju­bi­la­te! Amen!

Let our ves­per hymn be blend­ing

With the ho­ly calm around.

Soon as dies the sun­set glo­ry

Stars of heav­en shine out ab­ove

Telling still the an­cient sto­ry

Their cre­at­or’s change­less love.

Jubilate! Ju­bi­late! Ju­bi­late! Amen!

Telling still the an­cient sto­ry

Their cre­at­or’s change­less love.

Now

our wants and bur­dens leav­ing

To God’s care who cares for all

Cease we fear­ing

cease we griev­ing

Touched by God our bur­dens fall.

Jubilate! Ju­bi­late! Ju­bi­late! Amen!

Cease we fear­ing

cease we griev­ing

Touched by God our bur­dens fall.

As the dark­ness deep­ens o’er us

Lo! eter­nal stars arise;

Hope and faith and love rise glo­ri­ous

Shining in the Spir­it’s skies.

Jubilate! Ju­bi­late! Ju­bi­late! Amen!

Hope and faith and love rise glo­ri­ous

Shining in the Spir­it’s skies.
