Hymn.
[Since the Evening of Life will soon close]
Since the Evening of Life will soon close,
While I live, may I justly incline
To diffuse peace of heart among those,
Whose lives may be guided by mine!
While I live, may I justly incline
To diffuse peace of heart among those,
Whose lives may be guided by mine!
To Christ may I lead them to own
The charms of his tender controul,
And with gratitude gaze on His throne,
Whom to serve is the joy of the soul!
The charms of his tender controul,
And with gratitude gaze on His throne,
Whom to serve is the joy of the soul!
