EVENING. 25

Labour is sweet, for Thou hast toiled; And care is light, for Thou hast cared; Ah! never let our works be soiled With strife, or by deceit ensnared. Through life’s long day and death’s dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our Light.

For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto Thee we call; O let Thy mercy make us glad: Thou art our Jesus, and our All. Through life’s long day and death’s dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our Light. Amen,

“ He shall give His angels charge over thee.’ 18 OD, Who madest earth and heaven, Darkness and light;

Who the day for toil hast given,

For rest the night; May Thine angel-guards defend us, Slumber sweet Thy mercy send us, Holy dreams and hopes attend us,

This livelong night.

Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, And, when we die, May we in Thy mighty keeping All peaceful lie: When the last dread call shall wake us, Do not Thou our Gop forsake us, But to refgn in glory take us With Thee on high. Amen.

“ Now wnito the King Eternal, Immortal, Inersible, thee only Wise GOD, be honour and glory for ever and ever Amen.”

19 TRINITY, most Bless¢d Light,

O UNITY of Princely Might, As now the fiery sun departs Shed Thou Thy beams within our hearts.

To Thee our morning song of praise, To Thee our evening prayer we raise; Thee may our heart and voice adore For ever and for evermore. Amen,
