EVEN-SONG by ANONYMOUS

First Line: THE STARS SHINE FORTH FROM THE BLUE SKY
Last Line: "O STARS, GOOD-NIGHT, GOOD-NIGHT!"
Subject(s): PRAYER;
The stars shine forth from the blue sky;
How great and wondrous is God's might;
Shine, stars, through all eternity,
His witness in the night.

O Lord, Thy tired children keep:
Keep us who know and feel Thy might;
Turn Thine eye on us as we sleep,
And give us all good-night.

Shine, stars, God's sentinels on high,
Proclaimers of His power and might;
May all things evil from us fly;
O stars, good-night, good-night!
