EVENING INCENSE.BY THE AUTHOR OF "MORNING AND NIGHT WATCHES," PHILADELPHIA: KING & BAIRD, PRINTERS, "And thou shalt make an ALTAR to burn INCENSE upon: "And thou shalt put it ... before the MERCY-SEAT that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee. "And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at EVEN, he shall burn INCENSE upon it."—Exod. xxx. 1, 6, 8. "The star-lit sky's a temple-arch, The calm, still, evening air Is glorious with the spirit-march Of messengers of prayer. "Are gentle moon, or kindling sun, Or stars unnumbered, given As shrines to burn earth's incense on— The altar-fires of heaven? "Nay! pale away must moon and sun, And star by star decline; O be, Thou ever living One, Thy 'Golden Altar'—mine!" EVENING INCENSE. The writer has endeavored in the following pages to comply with frequent requests made to him to prepare a small volume of Evening Prayers, suitable as a companion to the "Morning Watches." May He with whom is "the residue of the Spirit," "cause His Angel to fly swiftly" and touch us in the time of our Evening Oblation; and may all that is amiss in thought and word be lost in the fragrant incense-cloud which ascends from the Golden Altar before the Throne! December, 1855. |
