Softly the evening vespers

Hallow the closing day

Sweetly the Savior whispers

“Come to the throne and pray.”



Refrain:

Softly I hear Him calling

Calling at close of day

Sweetly His tones are falling

“Come to the throne and pray.”



Come, ere the shadows lengthen

Bring Him thy burdened heart

Come where His grace may strengthen

Come from thy cares apart.



Smiles of His love await thee

Lighting His lovely face

Just to behold His beauty

Dwell in the secret place.



Boldly we may approach Him

Mercy and grace to own

Tempted like us, He bid us

Come to the Father's throne...
