OUR SUREST STAY

1How soft - ly falls the twi - light hour, Our rest, and peace, and love; When earth - ly cares and toils are done, And hearts to heav - en move.

2We think of God at such an hour, With feel - ings pure and true; And sleep with rest - wing blest of heart, That love so warm and true.

3The heart that once was hard with sin, Is changed to love and joy; How sweet to know that up - ward is our blessed portion.

4A few more days of sin and woe, Are numbered for us here; But joy awaits us in the day When Jesus shall appear.
