An Evening Song by Anonymous
How radiant the evening skies!Broad wing of blue in heaven unfurled,God watching with unwearied eyesThe welfare of a sleeping world.He rolls the sun to its decline,And speeds it on to realms afar,To let the modest glowworm shine,And men behold the evening star.He lights the wild flower in the wood,He rocks the sparrow in her nest,He guides the angels on their road,That come to guard us while we restWhen blows the bee his tiny horn,To wake the sisterhood of flowers,He kindles with His smile the morn,To bless with light the winged hours.O God! look down with loving eyesUpon Thy children slumbering here,Beneath this tent of starry skies,For heaven is nigh, and Thou art near.[Pg 015]
