Morning and Evening


PRAY at the morning hour;

Grace like the light and dew,

Is richest on the spirit shed

When thoughts are fresh and new.

The rising sun lights up the heavens

Before it shines below;

So first on God, and not on earth,

Should we our thoughts bestow.

Pray at the evening hour;

Grace like the golden light

That opens when the SUN is set,

Will smile upon the night.

The light still lingers on the sky

When all is dark below;

So last on God, and not on earth,

Should we our thoughts bestow.
