102. Evening Meditation

1 Gentle twilight, softly stealing
O'er the busy scenes of earth,
Brings a beautiful revealing
Of the spirit's holier worth,
Sweet revealing, sweet revealing
Of the spirit's holier worth.

2 Fill'd with meditative musing
Sits the calm, communing soul,
Stars of twilight soft diffusing
Ev'ning incense as they roll,
Soft diffusing, soft diffusing
Ev'ning incense as they roll.

3 Holy star, so mildly shining,
With thy pure, celestial ray,
Let my heart, its love entwining,
Feel the dawn of heav'nly day.
Love entwining, love entwining,
Feel the dawn of heav'nly day.
