At Even, Ere The Sun Was Set,
The Sick, O Lord, Around Thee Lay;
Oh, In What Divers Pains They Met !
Oh, With What Joy They Went Away !
Once More ‘Tis Even Tide, And We,
Oppressed With Various Ills, Draw Near
What If Thy Form We Cannot See !
We Know And Feel That Thou Art Here.
O Saviour Christ, Our Woes Dispel !
For Some Are Sick, And Some Are Sad,
And Some Have Never Loved Thee Well,
And Some Have Lost The Love They Had :
And All, O Lord, Crave Perfect Rest,
And To Be Wholly Free From Sin;
And They Who Fain Would Serve Thee Best,
Are Conscious Most Of Wrong Within.
O Saviour Christ, Thou Too Art Man !
Thou Hast Been Troubled, Tempted, Tried;
Thy Kind But Searching Glance Can Scan
The Very Wounds That Shame Would Hide:
Thy Touch Has Still Its Ancient Power;
No Word From Thee Can Fruitless Fall :
Hear In This Solemn Evening Hour
And In Thy Mercy Heal Us All.
