BENEDICTION




May He suppport us
all the day long.
Till the shades lengthen and the evening comes.
And the busy world is hushed.
And the fever of life is over.
And our work is done.
'Then in His mercy may He give us
Safe lodging and a holy rest'
And Peace at the last.

(Cardinal Newman)
(Author of Lead Kindly Light)

I found this verse on an old postcard.
