Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 5.5.5.4 D Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: John 1:4 Lyrics: 1 Now it is evening:
lights of the city
bid us remember
Christ is our light.
Many are lonely,
who will be neighbor?
Where there is caring,
Christ is our light.
2 Now it is evening:
little ones sleeping
bid us remember
Christ is our peace.
Some are neglected,
who will be neighbor?
Where there is caring,
Christ is our peace.
3 Now it is evening:
food on the table
bids us remember
Christ is our life.
Many are hungry,
who will be neighbor?
Where there is sharing,
Christ is our life.
3 Now it is evening:
here in our meeting
may we remember
Christ is our friend.
Some may be strangers,
who will be neighbor?
Where there's a welcome,
Christ is our friend.
