8. Chorus-"Now the Twilight" etc. Mercadante
Now.the twilight softly stealing
Yonder abbey tower revealing,
Solemn sounds OF music pcaltng,
Tell the hour OF evening prayer;
Thro' the gothic window streaming,
Rays OF light are family cleaning;
There at the altar lowly bending,
Fervent voices sweetly blending,
While their song to heaven ascending
Mingles with the balmy air.
Now the stars are family peeping
High in Heaven their vigils Keeping;
Flowers with fragrant dews are weeping
Natures holy calm to share;
In this peaceful hour OF gladness,
Who would dream OF grief and sadness?
Harkl The distant organ pealing,
Ger the senses softly stealing,
Waking in the hearts deep feeling
Solemn thoughts OF fervent prayer.
f. $50 Merriy over the ocean
Soprano Solo-We are nymphs of the ocean spray
Our home Is the restless deep,
Where the turbulent billows play,
Our revels we gaily keep
Alto Solo, Mid the bright foam
AS lightly we roam,
The sunbeams swiftly glde
Oh, sweet Is our song,
AS 1t playeth along
The breast of the tTemulOus tide.
We are found on the coral shore,
And sport with the merriest gee,
When the wind, with an angry roar,
tha nfnnt
Lightnings may flash,
The pillows may DASH
The sea birds mournful wall
Still gay we throng,
And the sea-nymph's song
Is borne on the ttful gale.
. SO merrny, etc.
Full Chorus.-So merrily over the ocean spray,
Dancing and singing the hours away,
Dancing over the spray,
Singing where billOws play,
Singing golden hours away.

s. Wake, Gentle Zephyr. Rossini
Wake, gentle Zephyr, your softest spell,
And DER the waters watt our sad farewell!
Breathe round us, music, your tuneful strain
And sweety whisper, we shall meet again.
Tho far away are doomed to rove,
From childhoOd's home, and friends we truly love
Kind memry still shall shine upon our way
And mingle in our dreams this parting lay.
9. Old Hundredth Psalm.
From all that dwell beneath the skies
Let the Creators praise arise;
Let the Redeemers name be sung
Through every land, by every tongue.
Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord;
Eternal truths attends Thy word;
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
