THE EVENING STAR.



But now that knowledge great and high
    Is kindled in man's soul,
We know thee but the glorious part
    Of a more glorious whole.

Oh, mysteries of night! that fill
    The mind with awe and love!
How visibly the power of God
    Is manifest above!

Oh! might and majesty that reign
    Upon the midnight sky!—
Creed of my hope! I feel thy truth
    Whene'er I gaze on high.
