I recorded this group of music ministers of the All Ukranian Baptist Union, Oleksandr (Sasha) Kreshchuk, Director, at Wheaton College for a new documentary on the global impact of the Billy Graham Crusades. They asked me if they could sing. I said, “Sure!”
Here are the lyrics:
In the quiet of the twilight,
as the star rises,
Evening praise covers the earth,
And sweet stillness
will reign everywhere
As the blue sky quietly fades away,
Evening praise makes beautiful the silence,
And nature’s chorus sings to God!
And our hearts are filled
with a wonderful calm, which reaches to thee, my Lord.
From the depths of my heart
I will sing a song,
In the quiet of the evening,
May my song of joyful praise
Rise to Your throne!
The documentary is being produced for the Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals at Wheaton College. Our plan is to explore the long-term impact of the Graham Crusades in the years after the event took place. Graham conducted more than 400 crusades in 185 countries and territories on six continents between 1947 and 2005.
