1 Softly and stil, night comes stealing, Lo! in the West sets the Sun;Silvery chimes of even pealing, Tell us that the day is doneRefrainO lovely Queen of Heaven! O Star of hope so fair!To the all power is given List! oh! list to our evening prayer.2 Here at thy feet humbly kneeling, Here at thy feet, Mary See;To thy mother love appealing, We thy children come to thee.Refrain3 Danger and sin all around us, Warfare we wage day and night;'Mid temptations that surround us, Mary guide our souls arightRefrain4 Watch o'er us then, lov-ing Mother, Ne-er let our prayer be in vain;Show thyself in truth our Mother 'Midst life's cares our hearts sustain.Refrain
