The evening sun is setting fast,
The twilight glow will soon be past,
And weary ones will find at last
The peace of God, divine.
No earthly hues to mortals show
The joy and gladness they may know,
Whene'er they gain the Spirit's glow,
The peace of God, divine.
When discord, turmoil, want, appear
And seem to us so real and near,
Then Spirit breathes within our ear
The peace of God, divine.
Hope makes the Christian long to find
The depth and height and might of Mind,
And so to share with all mankind
The peace of God, divine.
Rejoicing, let us onward go,
By gratitude God's love to show,
Until the whole wide world shall know
The peace of God, divine.
