Through our hours of toil or leisure,
After anxious cares or pleasure,
May there be in fullest measure
Peace at eventide.
When the morning cares distress us,
Or when noon day heat oppress' us,
May there be at hand to bless us
Peace at eventide.
May we have no cause to borrow
Unknown worries for tomorrow,
May there be instead of sorrow
Peace at eventide.
When the moon on high is beaming,
And the stars so brightly gleaming,
May we have in slumber dreaming
Peace at eventide.
When at last life's day is ending
And through unknown tracts we're wending,
May there be, our souls attending
Peace at eventide.
