More of man, might we behold,

Than on history’s broadest page

In the reliques of an age.

MORNING.

My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up.—Psalm v. 3.

My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.—Psalm cxxx. 6.

Behold the day, behold it is come: the morning is gone forth.—Ezekial, vii. 10.
