(93) Sabbath Evening.

Softly fades the twilight ray

Of the holy Sabbath day;

Gently as life's setting sun,

When the Christian's course is run.

2 Night her solemn mantle spreads

O'er the earth as daylight fades;

All things tell of calm repose

At the holy Sabbath's close.

3 Peace is on the world abroad;

'Tis the holy peace of God--

Symbol of the peace within,

When the spirit rests from sin.

4 Savior, may our Sabbaths be

Days of peace and joy in thee,

Till in heav'n our souls repose,

Where the Sabbath ne'er shall close.

Samuel F. Smith, 1843.
