99. L. M. Montgomery. Sunday Evening. 1 Millions within thy courts have been; Millions this day have bent the knee; But thou, soul-searching God! hast seen The hearts of all that worshipped thee. 2 From east to west the sun surveyed, From north to south, adoring throngs; And still, where evening stretched her shade, The stars came forth to hear their songs. 3 And not a prayer, a tear, a sigh, Hath failed this day some suit to gain; To those in trouble thou wert nigh; Not one hath sought thy face in vain. 4 Yet one prayer more; -- and be it one, In which both heaven and earth accord: Fulfil thy promise to thy Son; Let all that breathe call Jesus Lord!
