567 The hours of day are over,

1 The hours of day are over, The evening calls us home; Once more to Thee, O Father, With thankful hearts we come; For all Thy countless blessings We praise Thy holy name, And own Thy love unchanging, Through days and years the same. 2 For this, O Lord, we bless Thee, For this we thank Thee most: The cleansing of the sinful, The saving of the lost; The Teacher ever present, The Friend for ever nigh, The home prepared by Jesus For us above the sky. 3 Lord, gather all Thy children To meet Thee there at last, Where earthly tasks are ended, And earthly days are past; With all our loved ones round us In that eternal home, Where death no more shall part us, And night shall never come.
