1. Father, in high heav-en dwell-ing, May our eve- ning song be tell-ing

Of Thy mercy large and free. Through the day Thy love has fed

Thro' the day Thy care has led us, With divin - est char-i - ty.

1. The twilight falls, the night is near; We fold our work a - way,

And kneel to One who bends to hear The story of the day.

thanks we pay, And to our Fa-ther pray,- Bless us to - night.

Too

side

us stoops; Too worn the feet,

too

hard the way,

Slower

sore the Cross where with He droops; He asks the faith that

2 He waits for water from the spring
Of kindness in the human heart.
The touch of hands whose touches bring
A coolness to the wounds that smart;
The warm tears falling on His feet,
Than precious ointment far more sweet.

3 O Lord, the way is hard and steep, Help me to walk that way with Thee; To watch with Thee, and not to sleep

Heedless of Thy Gethsemane;
Till love becomes my worshipping
Who have no other gift to bring.

4 Help me to see Thee with Thy Cross
In all sad eyes that yearn to mine.
To share life's bread, nor count it loss,
To shed life's sacrificial wine.
Fain would I leave all empty creeds
And make a Gospel of my deeds.
