EVENING HYMN.                       03
Grant us, dear Lord! from evil ways
True absolution and release ; And bless us more than in past days
With purity and inward peace. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus ! be our light.
Do more than pardon ; give us joy,
Sweet fear and sober liberty, And loving hearts without alloy,
That only long to be like Thee. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus! be our light.
Labor is sweet, for Thou hast toiled, And care is light, for Thou hast cared ;
Let not our works with self be soiled, Nor in unsimple ways ensnared.
