om his orb descend.

III

Sun, that in morning light
Rises, nor sinks in night,
Shine in my soul alway,
Make there an endless day.

IV

Life for my deadness give;
Shine, that my soul may live;
Joy to my sorrow bring;
Light on Thy glowing wing.

V

If 'neath the cloud I lie,
Darkness obscure my sky;
Yet, may my faith behold
Glints of the hidden gold.

VI

Father, to Thee, always,
And Holy Ghost, be praise;
Glory, while ages run,
To Thee, O Christ! our Sun.

I

Now glows the morn in beauty rare,
O haste my soul to fervent prayer,
And let the wings of morning raise
To God the tribute of thy praise.

II

The night is gone; now disappear
The clouds that hung in threatening near;
Day comes apace, and terrors flee,
For light illumes the earth and sea.

III

O soul dismayed! when darkness fills
The dismal days with darkling ills,
Rest in the calm the promise gives,
That Christ, thy Light and Glory, lives.

IV

Morn shall appear and scatter night;
Light shall appear in noonday might.
Strong in the joy the daylight brings,
Soul, thou shalt rise on glowing wings.

V

Morn of my soul, O Christ, Thou art;
Light of my life; my drooping heart
Sings, when Thy countenance benign
Shines as the joys of noonday shine.

EVENING

I

When night her sable curtain spreads,
And darkness falls on sea and land,
In silent beauty, o'er our heads,
The stars shine grand.

II

The orb of day his race hath run,
But see what glory comes to view,
As, full of radiance, one by one,
The stars shine true.

III

Now bright their silver light appears,
And reverent eyes behold the sight;
Hope lights the darkness of our fears--
The stars shine bright.

IV

When on our life the curtain falls,
