Tune: St Clement
(\'The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended\')
Mark 1 v.32-35
*******
In peace and quietude of evening
People gathered round you did bring
Those afflicted, Galilee\'s region
Seeking healing for every one
In calm of evening, or whate\'er time
Of day or night throughout life\'s rhyme
Help us bring our needs to you, solace
To find, each need before you place
Doing what we can, prayer and action
Sometimes wait, or meditation
Taking our part, and where we can do
No more, leave outcomes up to you
Where many things may take natural course
Yet still we pray, but cannot force
Your hand, whether some pain, grief follow
Or comfort, in all your peace know
It it draw us nearer to you, may
We be strengthened, our trust firm stay
In you, each human situation
You know, Lord of every nation
