Author: C. C. Cox Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.4 #151 (1894) Refrain First Line: Come the silent shades of evening Lyrics: 1 Silently the shades of evening
Gather round my lowly door;
Silently they bring before me
Faces I shall see no more.
Refrain:
Come the silent shades of evening,
Holy mem'ries cluster 'round me,
Pointing up to that fair heaven
We may hope to gain at last.
2 Oh, the lost, the unforgotten,
Though the world be oft forgot!
O the shrouded and the lonely,
In our hearts they perish not! [Refrain]
3 Living in the silent hours,
Where our spirits only blend,
They, unlinked with earthly trouble,
We, still hoping for its end. [Refrain]
4 How such holy memories cluster,
Like the stars when storms are past,
Pointing up to that fair heaven,
We may hope to gain at last. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Silently the shades of evening]
