Morning and Evening
PRAY at the morning hour;
Grace like the light and dew,
Is richest on the spirit shed
When thoughts are fresh and new.
The rising sun lights up the heavens
Before it shines below;
So first on God, and not on earth,
Should we our thoughts bestow.
Pray at the evening hour;
Grace like the golden light
That opens when the SUN is set,
Will smile upon the night.
The light still lingers on the sky
When all is dark below;
So last on God, and not on earth,
Should we our thoughts bestow.
