NOW IT IS EVENING

Now it is evening:
lights of the city
bid us remember
       Christ is our Light.
Many are lonely,
who will be neighbor?
Where there is caring,
       Christ is our Light.

Now it is evening:
little ones sleeping
bid us remember
       Christ is our Peace.
Some are neglected,
who will be neighbor?
Where there is caring,
       Christ is our Peace.

Now it is evening:
food on the table
bids us remember
       Christ is our Life.
Many are hungry,
who will be neighbor?
Where there is sharing,
       Christ is our Life.

Now it is evening:
here in our meeting
may we remember
       Christ is our Friend.
Some may be strangers,
who will be neighbor?
Where there's a welcome,
       Christ is our Friend.
