10294. O Bless The Hour When Evening Comes

1 O bless the hour when evening comes
And calls us to our place of prayer;
With joyful heart our feet we turn
To meet our Lord’s disciples there.

2 With one accord we gather here,
Our wants make known, our sins confess;
Dear Savior, wilt Thou now appear
And bless, as only Thou canst bless.

3 Our faith increase, our fears remove,
Make strong the weak, the helpless raise,
May every heart here feel Thy love,
And every tongue speak forth Thy praise.

4 No want we have Thou canst not fill,
No need but Thou canst fully meet;
May we obey Thy gracious will
And find our lives in Thee complete.
