Hymn 61
The light of the day of rest
Meter: 7.7.7.7.
Scripture: Job. 3:18
1
The light of the day of rest
Gently fades off from our sight
Just like the evening sunset
Of the Christian’s pilgrimage.
2
Daylight dies; and the earth is
Wrapped in blanket of the night
Peace serene is felt around
At the close of day of rest.
3
Perfect peace now fills the earth
Sent by God from heav’n above
Like the praise that fills the heart
That from sin has been set free.
4
Still the Spirit lingers near
The hungry and thirsty soul
Who lift their hearts to the throne
To seek earnestly His grace
5
Jesus Lord, grant that our rest
May be filled with joy in Thee
Till our hearts shall take its rest
In th’ eternal heav’n of rest
