Again, as evening’s shadow falls,

by Samuel Longfellow

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 56 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Again, as evening’s shadow falls, We gather in these hallowed walls; And vesper hymn and vesper prayer Rise mingling on the holy air.

Verse 2

May struggling hearts that seek release Here find the rest of God’s own peace; And, strengthened here by hymn and prayer, Lay down the burden and the care.

Verse 3

O God, our Light! to Thee we bow; Within all shadows standest Thou; Give deeper calm than night can bring; Give sweeter songs than lips can sing. Amen.
