REST FROM THE TOILS OF THE DAY
How sweet it is at evening After a long and well spent day,
To close one's eyes in slumber
And rest from the toils of day. It is dJJubly sweet at the close
of a w ell spent life. To lum one's face toward the sunset
And quietly sink into rest That knows no w aking
Except in the presence ofGod.
