AT EVENING, by                    
First Line: Another day is numbered with the past
Last Line: Of the still hours when thy clear stars are burning


Another day is numbered with the past;
Another night is given us for rest;
Father, my spirit at Thy feet I cast,
Oh, gather it unto Thy loving breast.

Nightly Thou sendest rest to all the earth,
Sendest a time for silence and returning;
O Father! teach me all the holy worth
Of the still hours when Thy clear stars are burning.
