I'm back

Well, I managed to recover. It was pretty much a really hellish week, probably worse than that at National Camp. Couldn't eat, couldn't do anything but sleep. Felt terrible. Thank God for pulling me through that week.

Anyway I'm back in action, and alive as ever. Sunset is available for download on my shoutbox, credits to the Band of the Royal Australian Navy. Really nice tune. If only they put up Evening Hymn as well.

Evening Hymn (The Day Thou Gavest Lord Is Ended)

The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended,
The darkness falls at Thy behest;
To Thee our morning hymns ascended,
Thy praise shall sanctify our rest.

We thank Thee that Thy church, unsleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.

As o’er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.

The sun that bids us rest is waking
Our brethren ’neath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high.

So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never,
Like earth’s proud empires, pass away:
Thy kingdom stands, and grows forever,
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.
