Methodist-Hymns-975
1: WHEN the day of toil is done,
when the race of life is run,
Father, grant Thy wearied one
Rest for evermore.
2: When the strife of sin is stilled,
When the foe within is killed,
Be thy gracious word fulfilled-
Peace for evermore.
3: When the darkness melts away
At the breaking of the day,
Bid us hail the cheering ray-
Light for evermore.
4: When the heart by sorrow tried
Feels at length its throbs subside,
Bring us, where all tears are dried,
Joy for evermore.
5: When for vanished days we yearn,
Days that never can return,
Teach us in thy love to learn
Love for evermore.
6: When the breath of life is flown,
When the grace must claim its own,
Lord of life, be ours thy crown-
Life for evermore.
