In The Cool of the Evening

 

vs. 1

In the cool of the evening

when the heat of day had gone

God would go to Eden’s garden

to see His created son

They would walk together talking…

the God of glory and His friend

Soon you and I will walk with Him

our evening never end.

 

 

Chorus

Cold and darkness will not enter

that garden oh so fair

We’ll walk hand in hand with Jesus

when we gather over there

Restful steps in the evening

where the cool waters flow

At last, with Him, so precious...

we’ll be home.

 

vs. 2

Look ahead to forever

cares of life all seem to dim

We’ll have time everlasting

just to walk and talk with Him.

We’ll be home - our long wait over

oh the joy that we’ll know then

Our long walk in the evening

will never end.

This echoes Longfellow and paints feelings of peace and tranquility. In the novels of Appalachian author Silas House, there is a concept that "God is in the trees". I like that. Modern churches are just too modern for a girl that spends so much time in historic places. Another blessing.
