14 ST. LEONARD. C. M. D. H. HILES. 1867. p 1. The shadows of the evening hours Fall from the dark-'ning sky; Look on Thy chil-dren from on high, And hear us while we pray. 2 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord, The brightness of the coming night 3 Slowly the rays of daylight fade The hopes in earthly love and joy, Slowly the bright stars, one by one, Give us, O Lord, fresh hopes in heaven, 4 Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God, Upon our souls descend; From midnight fears, and perils, Thou Our trembling hearts defend: Give us a respite from our toil; Calm and subdue our woes; Through the long day we labor, Lord, Oh, give us now repose. A. A. Procter. 1862. 17 JOHN READING. 1680. PORTUGUESE HYMN. P. M. Con spirito. 1. Come hith er, ye faithful, triumph - ant-ly sing; Come, see in the 2 True Son of the Father, He comes from the skies; 3 Hark! hark to the angels! all singing in heaven, 4 To Thee, then, O Jesu, this day of Thy birth, Anon.
