9:23

1. At evening time let there be light; Life's lit- tle day draws near its close;

Around me fall the shades of night, The night of death, the grave's repose;

To crown my joys, to end my woes,

At evening time let there

be light.

And still that Peace divine impart
Which sanctifies the inmost heart,
And makes each morn and setting sun
But bring us nearer to thy throne.
May we our daily duties meet,

Tread sin each day beneath our feet,
And win that strength which doth thy will
And seeth thee, and so is still;
And, fixed on thy sustaining arm,

Find daily food, and know no harm. 3 Help us with man in peace to live, Our brother's wrong in love forgive, And day and night the tempter flee Thro' strength which comes alone frɔm thee!

Thus will our spirits find their rest,
In thy deep Peace forever blest.

Anon.

Sing the new song!

Thy triumph has begun;
Thy tears are wiped away,

Thy night is done! Amen.

Predicted Glory of the Messiah's Kingdom.
I Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise!
Exalt thy towering head, and lift thine eyes!
See heaven its sparkling portals wide display,
And break upon thee in a flood of day!
-2 See a long race thy spacious courts adorn,
See future sons and daughters yet unborn,
In crowding ranks on every side arise,
Demanding life, impatient for the skies!

3 The seas shall waste, the skies in smoke decay,
Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away;
But fixed his word, his saving power remains;
Thy realm shall last, thy own Messiah reigns.

Pope.

Bonar.
