<poem>
How calmly the evening once more is descending,
As kind as a promise, as still as a prayer;
O wing of the Lord, in Thy shelter befriending,
May we and our households continue to share.


:How calmly the evening once more is descending,
We come to be soothed with Thy merciful healing;
:As kind as a promise, as still as a prayer;
The dews of the night cure the wounds of the day;
:O wing of the Lord, in Thy shelter befriending,
We come, our life's work and its brevity feeling,
:May we and our households continue to share.
With thanks for the past, for the future we pray.


:We come to be soothed with Thy merciful healing;
Lord, save us from folly; be with us in sorrow;
:The dews of the night cure the wounds of the day;
Sustain us in work till the time of our rest;
:We come, our life's work and its brevity feeling,
When earth's day is over, may heaven's tomorrow
:With thanks for the past, for the future we pray.
Dawn on us, of homes long expected possest.
 
</poem>
:Lord, save us from folly; be with us in sorrow;
:Sustain us in work till the time of our rest;
:When earth's day is over, may heaven's tomorrow
:Dawn on us, of homes long expected possest.

How calmly the evening once more is descending,
As kind as a promise, as still as a prayer;
O wing of the Lord, in Thy shelter befriending,
May we and our households continue to share.

We come to be soothed with Thy merciful healing;
The dews of the night cure the wounds of the day;
We come, our life's work and its brevity feeling,
With thanks for the past, for the future we pray.

Lord, save us from folly; be with us in sorrow;
Sustain us in work till the time of our rest;
When earth's day is over, may heaven's tomorrow
Dawn on us, of homes long expected possest.
