Lord Jesus Christ, in Whom His truth and grace Are vis - i - bly ex-pressed. Amen.

p 2 Our changeful lives are ebbing to an end:
Onward to darkness and to death we tend:
cr O Conqueror of the grave, be Thou our guide,
Be Thou our light (dim) in death's dark eventide;
Then in our mortal hour will be no gloom,
No sting in death, no terror in the tomb.

mf 3 Thou, Who in darkness walking didst appear
Upon the waves, and Thy disciples cheer,

Come, Lord, in lonesome days, when storms assail,
dim And earthly hopes and human succours fail:
p When all is dark (cr) may we behold Thee nigh,
And hear Thy voice, "Fear not, for it is I."

p 4 The weary world is mouldering to decay,
Its glories wane, its pageants fade away;
cr In that last sunset when the stars shall fall,
ff May we arise awakened by Thy call,
dim With Thee, O Lord, for ever to abide
cr In that blest day which has no eventide.

C. Wordsworth

84. The radiant morn hath pass'd a-way, And spent too soon her gold-en store;

The radiant morn hath pass'd a-way, And spent too soon her gold-en store;

The shad-ows of de- part-ing day Creep on once more.

p2 Holy Saviour, calm our fears
When earth's brightness disappears:
Grant us in our later years
cr Light at evening-time.

Pp 3 Holy Spirit, be Thou nigh
When in mortal pains we lie;
Grant us, as we come to die,
Light at evening-time.

mf 4 Holy, blessed Trinity,
cr Darkness is not dark to Thee:
Those Thou keepest always see
f Light at evening-time.
