Hymnal: International Song Service #102 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Silently the shades of evening
Gather round my lonely door;
Silently they bring before me
Faces I shall see no more.
2 O, the lost, the unforgotten,
Though the world be oft forgot;
O, the shrouded and the lonely!
In our hearts they perish not.
3 Living in the silent hours,
Where our spirits only blend;
They unlinked with earthly trouble,
We still hoping for its end.
4 How such holy mem'ries cluster,
Like the stars when storms are past,
Pointing up to that fair haven
We may hope to gain at last.
