EVENING TEARS AND MORNING SONGS.

By Frances Ridley Havergal

“Weeping may endure in the evening, but singing cometh in the morning.” Marginal reading of Ps. 30:5.
In the evening there is weeping, Lengthening shadows, falling sight, Silent darkness, slowly creeping Over all things dear and bright.
In the evening there is weeping, Lasting all the twilight through; Phantom shadows never sleeping, Wakening slumbers of the true.
In the morning cometh singing, Cometh joy, and cometh sight, When the sun ariseth, bringing Healing on his wings of light.
In the morning cometh singing, Songs that ne’er in silence end; Angel minstrels ever bringing Praises new with thine to blend.
Are the twilight shadows casting Heavy glooms upon thy heart? Soon in radiance everlasting Night forever shall depart.
Art thou weeping, sad and lonely, *Through the evening of thy days? All thy sighing shall be only Prelude of more perfect praise.
Darkest hour is nearest dawning, Solemn herald of the day; Singing cometh in the morning, God shall wipe all tears away.
F. R. HAVERGAL, in Christian Weekly.
