Cântăre A call to prayer

1. Softly the evening vespers

Hallow the closing day;

Sweetly the Savior whispers,

"Come to the throne and pray."



R: Softly I hear Him calling,

Calling at close of day;

Sweetly His tones are falling,

"Come to the throne and pray."



2. Come, ere the shadows lengthen,

Bring Him thy burdened heart;

Come where His grace may strengthen,

Come from thy cares apart.



3. Smiles of His love await thee,

Lighting His lovely face;

Just to behold His beauty,

Dwell in the secret place.



4. Boldly we may approach Him,

Mercy and grace to own;

Tempted like us, He bid us

Come to the Father’s throne.
