SABBATH EVENING HYMN. 1 Ere yet the ev'ning star, with silver ray, Sheds its mild lustre on this sacred day, Let us resume, with thankful hearts again, The rites that heav'n and holiness ordain. 2 Still let those precious truths our thoughts engage, [page; Which shine reveal'd on inspiration's Nor those blest hours in vanity be pass'd, Which all who lavish will lament at last. 3 O God, our Saviour, in our hearts abide, Thy blood redeems us and thy precepts guide; [friend; In life our guardian, and in death our Glory supreme be thine, till time shall end! 4 And as yon sun descending rolls away, To rise in glory at return of day, So may we set, our transient being o'er, So rise in glory on the eternal shore!
