By Gustav GottheilYom Kippur
T
Forgetful of the world outside;
We tarry in Thy House, O Lord,
From eventide to eventide.
Our deepest heart can nothing hide;
It crieth up to Thee for peace
From eventide to eventide.
As we deserve, forever chide?
We therefore seek Thy pardoning grace
From eventide to eventide.
The years of life do onward glide;
So learn to live that we may see
Thy light at our life’s eventide.
