LyicsSoftly on the breath of evening,
Comes the tender sigh of day;
Lonely heart, by sorrow laden,
'T is the time to pray.
Cho.- Weary pilgrim, cease thy mourning,
Weary pilgrim, cease thy mourning,
Rest beyond forever.
'T is the hour when hallowed feelings
Chase our doubts and fears away;
'T is the hour for calm devotion,
Pilgrim watch and pray.
Tho' temptations dark oppress thee,
Jesus guides thee on the way;
He will hear the lightest whisper,
Pilgrim, watch and pray.
