On the dewy breath of even
Thousand odours mingling rise,
Borne like incense up to heaven,—
Nature's evening sacrifice.
With her fragrant offerings blending,
Let our glad thanksgiving be
To Thy throne, O Lord, ascending,—
Incense of our hearts to Thee.
Thou, who favours without number
All our days with gladness bless,
Let Thine eye, that knows no slumber,
Guard our hours of helplessness.
Then, though conscious we are sleeping
In the outer courts of death,
Save beneath a Father's keeping,
Calm we rest in perfect faith.
