AN EVENING PRAYER.

Oh, God of love' in mercy row Look down upon Thy children here, As at Thy feet we humbly bow, And bend io us a listening ear. He?r us for those whose hearts are sad And tro'ibled with a sense of <=in, Grant, that in Christ they may be glad, Made conscious of Ihy per.ee within. Some who once loved and since have strayed, Wearied and weak and thirsting still, Seeking to drink at fountains made By Temptei's craft and rebel will; Give them to see with oue:ied eves The Vroundprint". thai their Saviour bears, And 11 om the caith thiq night to- rise V\"'th melted heaits and love-born prayers. Bess at this tune Thy ■neople, Lord, What e'er their need, where'er t'uey be; Let each sheen hear the Shepherd's voice, And in obedience follow Thee. We pray Thee fcr our little ores, That early they may knov Thy grace. Oil ' may our dauqhtf.-s and our sons Be godher than thc.r fathers' race. The sick, the poor, the tried, the old, r Lhc mourners, lonely, wemird — all Whoso lives are desolate snd cold — Thou God of comfort, Eear their call. We cry to the" for millions still In heathen bonds find b'ackest night, Who«o hearts have never felt the thrill That hiiils the dawn of Heavenly light. Thus. Lc-d, v. 0 \olcc cm eve" >n^ piayer, A"d raise our hearts in praise to Thcej Wo croivn 1 hco King of G-loiy there, And wait Thy reign o'er eaith and sea. -G. H. M. Dunedm, Mneli 2G, 1901.
