Author: Samuel F. Smith Appears in 214 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Softly fades the twilight ray
Of the holy Sabbath day;
Gently as life’s setting sun,
When the Christian’s course is run.
2 Peace is on the world abroad;
’Tis the holy peace of God--
Symbol of the peace within,
When the spirit rests from sin.
3 Still the Spirit lingers near,
Where the evening worshipper
Seeks communion with the skies,
Pressing onward to the prize.
4 Saviour, may our Sabbaths be
Days of peace and joy in Thee:
Till in heaven our souls repose,
Where the Sabbath ne’er shall close.
Amen.
