FOR THE YOUNG 271

Jesu, give the weary Calm and sweet repose, With Thy tenderest blessing May our eyelids close.

Grant to little childrea Visions bright of Thee,

Guard the sailors tossing On the deep blue sea.

Comfort every sufferer Watching late in pain, Those who plan some evil

From their sin restrain.

Through the long night watches May Thine Angels spread

Their white wings above me, Watching round my bed.

When the morning wakens, Then may I arise

Pure and fresh and sinless In Thy Holy Eyes.

Glory to the FATHER, Glory to the Son,

And to Thee, Blest Spirit, Whilst all ages run, Amen,

"_I% Hin was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.

869 O LIGHT, Whose beams illumine all From twilight dawn to perfect day, Shine Thou before the shadows fall That lead-our wandering feet astray: At morn and eve Thy radiance pour, That youth may love and age adore.

O Way, through Whom our souls draw near To yon eternal Home of peace,

Where perfect love shall cast out fear,

And earths vain toil and wandering cease;

In strength or weakness may we see

Our heavenward path, O Lorp, through Thee.
