dwell in safety."'

When I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.'

day is gd yet more faint the sunlight glows:

HE is gently sinking to a close;

O Brightness of Thy Father's glory, Thou
Eternal Light of light, be with us now;
Where Thou art present darkness cannot be;
Midnight is glorious noon, O Lord, with Thee.
mp 2 Our changeful lives are ebbing to an end;
Onward to darkness and to death we tend :
O Conqueror of the grave, be Thou our Guide,
Be Thou our Light in death's dark eventide;
Then in our mortal hour will be no gloom,
No sting in death, no terror in the tomb.
mp 3 Thou who in darkness walking didst appear

Come, Lord, in lonesome days, when storms assail,
And earthly hopes and human succours fail;
When all is dark, may we behold Thee nigh,
And hear Thy voice, Fear not, for it is I.'
mp 4 The weary world is mouldering to decay;
Its glories wane, its pageants fade away:
In that last sunset, when the stars shall fall,
May we arise, awakened by Thy call,
With Thee, O Lord, for ever to abide
In that blest day which has no eventide.
