HYMN.
The Eoyal Family assembled as usual at Windsor to celebrate the nineteenth anniversary of the late Prince.Consort's death. The following beautiful hymn was composed for the occasion :— HYMN. Evening and Morning. Words by ■ the Rev. Gregory Smith; music by Sir Herbert Oakley. " Heaviness may endure Tor a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Comes, at times, a stillness as of even', Steeping the soul in memories of love, As when the glow is fading out of heaven, As when the twiiight deepens in the grove. Comes, at length, a sound of many voices, As when the waves break lightly on the shore ; As when at dawn the feathered choir rejoices, Singing aloud because the night is o'er. Comes, at times, a voice of days departed. On the dying breath of evening borne. Sinks then the .traveller, faint and weary hearted ; "Long is the way," it whispers, "and forlorn. Comes, at last, a voice of thrilling gladness, Borne on the breezes of the rising day, Saying, " The Lord shall make an end of sadness, Saying, " The Lord shall wipe all tears away.
