Summary: Prayers at the end of the day.

Dusk rises from the dark and dewy grass

And sweet bells sing to end the workman’s day,

To call the busy brothers from their tasks

To wash in haste and stand in statio

And there to wait, to hear a subtle tap

That sends them silently into the church

Across a floor swept smooth with golden light

By the husbandry of the setting sun:

The day is placed upon the Altar now

There to be blessed by gratitude and Grace
