1.
O blessed hour, when evening comes,
And calls us to our place of prayer !
with joyful heart our feet we turn
To meet Thee and Thy children there.
2.
With one accord we gather here,
Our wants make known, our sins confess;
Dear Saviour, wilt Thou now appear,
And bless as only Thou canst bless.
3.
Our faith increase, our fears remove;
Make strong the weak, the helpless raise;
May every heart now feel Thy love,
And every tongue speak forth Thy praise.
4.
No want have we Thou canst not fill,
No need but Thou canst fully meet;
May we obey Thy gracious will,
And find our lives in Thee complete.
