Anon. 1 5 Evening Thoughts. 1 Another fleeting day is gone ; Slow o'er the west the shadows rise ; Swift the soft-stealing hours have flown, And night's dark mantle veils the skies. 2 Another fleeting day is gone Swift from the records of the year; And still, with each successive sun, Life's fading visions disappear. 3 Another fleeting day is gone ; But soon a fairer day shall rise, A day whose never-setting sun Shall pour its light o'er cloudless skies. Collyer. lo Christ always. 1 Saviour, when night involves the skies, My soul, adoring, turns to thee, — Thee, self-abased in mortal guise, And wrapped in shades of death for me. 2 On thee my waking raptures dwell, When crimson gleams the east adorn; Thee, Victor of the grave and hell ; Thee, Source of life's eternal morn. 3 When noon her throne in light arrays, To thee my soul triumphant springs ; Thee, throned in glory's endless blaze ; Thee, Lord of lords, and King of kings. 4 O'er earth, when shades of evening steal, To death and thee my thoughts I give : To death, whose power I soon must feel ; — To thee, with whom I trust to live.

Medley. Concluded from opposite page. In the solitude apart, In the wilderness or mart, Oh ! my sorely tempted heart, I will seek my Father. In the darkness as the day, He shall be my guide and stay, I will lean on him alway — I will seek my Father. When the evening sun is red, When each blossom droops its head, Kneeling low beside my bed, I will seek my Father. That I slumber in his care, Shielded from each harmful snare, And for life or death prepare, I will seek my Father. Anon. 12 Lead Thou Me On, ios, 4s, Si 6. Dykes. j ^Mlg^lg^U^. I JHjrH r.
