Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight
Dear Master, help me along life's way,
Help me to travel straight each day,
Being careful of the words I say,
And be near when evening comes.
Dear Master, I am often weary and sad,
'Tis then, your words have made me glad;
And I'm thankful Thy promise I have had,
Dear Master when evening comes.
Dear Master, this life will soon be o'er,
The boatman will row me to the other shore,
Life's day here I'll know no more,
So be Thou near when evening comes.
Dear Master, as I enter my new home
Where sadness and sorrow can never come
Safe at last, no more to roam,
You, always near, when evening comes!
