As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 60 — the newest hymnal carrying it.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
