28 SUNDAY,

And therefore unto Thee we sing

O Lorp of Peace, Eternal King;

Thy love we praise, Thy Name adore, Both on this day and evermore. Amen.

There shah be no night there. EvENING. 23 REAT Gop, Who hid from mortal sight Dost dwell in unapproachéd light, Before Whose Presence angels bow With faces veiled, in homage low;

Awhile in darkness we remain,

And round us yet are sin and pain; But soon the everlasting day

Shall chase our shades of night away.

For Thou hast promised, gracious Lorn, A day of gladness and reward;

A day but faintly imaged here

By brightest sun at noontide clear.

Too long, alas! it still delays;

It lingers yet, that day of days;

Our mortal strife and toil must cease Before we win its heavenly peace.

Then from its fleshly bonds set free The soul shall fly, O Gop, to Thee; To see Thee, love Thee, and adore, Her blissful task for evermore.

Great TRINITY, our hearts prepare, The fulness of Thy joy to share; Lifes transient light may we improve, And gain eternal light above. Amen.

The day ts Thine, the night also ts Thine.

LEST CREATOR of the light, Making day with radiance bright, Thou didst oer the forming earth Give the golden light its birth.,

Shade ofeve with morning ray Took from Thee the name of day; Now again the shades are nigh, Listen te our humble cry.
