Evening Prayer. ATUNS OF THE SPIRIT. | 6 We bring to thee our hopes and fears, 1 As darker, darker, fall around

And at thy footstool lay; The shadows of the night,

And, Father, thou who lovest all

Wilt hear us as we pray.
We gather here, with hymn and prayer,
To seek the Eternal Light.

The Day..

8. D. ROBBIND ? Father in heaven, to thee are known Our many hopes and fears,

1 Thou art my morning, God of light; Our heavy weight of mortal toil,

Thy day-spring wakes my soul; Our bitterness of tears.

Thy radiant smile subdues the night,

And shall the day control. 3 We pray thee for our absent ones,

2 And thou my noon, O Father! art; Who have been with us here;

Thy central warmth I own: And in our secret heart we name

The glowing fulness of my heart The distant and the dear.

Pulses from thee alone.

1 For weary eyes, and aching hearts,

And feet that from thee rove,
The sick, the poor, the tried, the fallen,

We pray thee, God of love.

3 And thou my evening: let me rest,

When life declines, in thee;
As sinks the sun into the west,

Thou wilt my guardian be.

8 We pray thee for the little bark Just launched upon

life's sea : Are not the depths of parents' love,

() Father! known to thee?

4 A brighter morning round thy throne

Shall dawn with light more fair :
Father, I trust in thee alone;

Thou wilt awake me there

3 But our brief life's a shadowy dream,

134.

Seeing the Invisible.
A passing thought that soon is o'er ;
That fades with morning's earliest beam, 1 ETERNAL and immortal King,
And fills the musing mind no more. Thy peerless splendors none can bear,

But darkness veils seraphic eyes,
4 To us, O Lord! the wisdom give

When God with all his glory's there.
Each passing moment so to spend,
That we at length with thee may live 2 Yet faith can pierce the awful gloom,
Where life and bliss shall never end. The great Invisible can see;

And with its tremblings mingle joy,

In fixed regard, great God, to thee. 133.

Praise to the only true God. Ps. 86.
. ETERNAL God, Almighty Cause

3 Oh ever conscious to my heart,
Of carth and seas and worlds unknown, Witness to its supreme desire !
All things are subject to thy laws; Behold! it presseth on to thee,
All things depend on thee alone.

For it bath caught the heavenly fire.
Thy glorious being singly stands, 4 This one petition would it urge,
Of all within itself possessed :

To bear thee ever in its sight;
Controlled by none are thy commands ; In life, in death, in worlds unknown
Thou in thyself alone art blessed.

Its only portion and delight.
