Author: Goethe Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #461 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O'er silent field and lonely lawn Lyrics:
O’er silent field and lonely lawn
Her dusky mantle night hath drawn;
At twilight’s holy, heartfelt hour,
In man his better soul hath power.
The passions are at peace within,
And stilled each stormy thought of sin;
The yielding bosom, overawed,
Breathes love to man, and love to God.
