¶Lyrics / Text

1. The sun is gone, the long clouds break And sink adown his golden wake; Behold us, met now work is done To seek Thy grace at evensong. 2. Half-hearted, tardy, cold are we, Warm us, and draw our souls to Thee; Draw us to follow, as the sun, Thy servant, vassal worlds draws on. 3. Break to us, dealer of man's bread, Food fresh from heaven as manna spread, Lest of the poisonous fruits of death Eat the sad soul that hungereth. 4. We would not meagre gifts down-call When Thou dost yearn to yield us all; But for this life, this little hour, Ask all Thy love and care, and power. 5. Show us Thy pureness, here, on earth; Into Thy kingdom give us birth. We would not wish or dare, to wait In better worlds a better state. 6. But save us now, and cleanse us now, Receive each soul and hear its vow: “My Father's God, on Thee I call, Thou shalt be my God, and my All.”
