NIGHT.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.—Psalm xix. 2.

Thou makest darkness, and it is night.—Psalm civ. 20.

If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

Yea, the darkness hideth not from Thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to Thee.—Psalm cxxxix. 11, 12.

One sun by day, by night ten thousand shine,

And light us deep into the Deity;

How boundless in magnificence is night!

O what a confluence of ethereal fires,

From urns unnumber’d, down the steep of heaven,
