Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: Laudes Domini #11 (1888) First Line: Now, from labor and from care Lyrics: 1 Now, from labor and from care,
Evening shades have set me free;
In the work of praise and prayer,
Lord! I would converse with thee;
Oh, behold me from above,
Fill me with a Saviour's love.
2 Sin and sorrow, guilt and woe,
Wither all my earthly joys;
Naught can charm me here below,
But my Saviour's melting voice;
Lord! forgive--thy grace restore,
Make me thine for evermore.
3 For the blessings of this day,
For the mercies of this hour,
For the gospel's cheering ray,
For the Spirit's quickening power,--
Grateful notes to thee I raise;
Oh, accept my song of praise. Topics: Communion of Saints With Christ; Opening of Service Languages: English Tune Title: HALLE
