Another day of grace is here
O, Lord, I pray be ever near;
And fill this heart with strength and light,
And fill this heart with strength and light,
As yonder sun that shines so bright.

With loving vigil Thou hast kept
My soul from evil as I slept;
And from the footsteps of this day,
And from the footsteps of this day,
Again I'll journey   on my way.

I know this way of truth leads on
To lands of one eternal morn;
Where night shall never more be known,
Where night shall never more be known,
For darkness from that land is gone.

I feel myself a pilgrim here;
The Lord, alone, to me is dear;
Far dearer than all earthly things,
Far dearer than all earthly things,
In love to Him my soul still clings.

And now the sun from day so high,
Has sunk beneath the western sky;
The Lord again his love imparts,
The Lord again his love imparts,
By giving rest to weary hearts.

A day's true journey have I made,
Behind the toil of earth I've laid;
And now in humble, earnest pray'r,
And now in humble, earnest pray'r,
I bring to Thee my every care.

But yet, I long for that sweet rest,
Where weary souls, I know, are blest;
There, safe and free from all alarms,
There, safe and free from all alarms,
I'll rest within my Saviour's arms.
