EXAMPLE from Cello 1:

A composition of late 1907.  The part-song ‘How calmly the evening’, set to words by T. T. Lynch, was written for publication in ‘The Musical Times’. It is a gentle and hymn-like song, described by Elgar as ‘homely but felt’.

English text

How calmly the evening once more is descending,
As kind as a promise, as still as a prayer;
O wing of the Lord, in Thy shelter befriending,
May we and our households continue to share.

We come to be soothed with Thy merciful healing;
The dews of the night cure the wounds of the day;
We come, our life’s work and its brevity feeling,
With thanks for the past, for the future we pray.

Lord, save us from folly; be with us in sorrow;
Sustain us in work till the time of our rest;
When earth’s day is over, may heaven’s tomorrow
Dawn on us, of homes long expected possest.
