Evening by Henry Hiles — Lyrics
Gentle Peace is crowning
Ev'ry hill and dell;
Nature slumbers, owning
Night's enchanting spell;
Still, with wild endeavour,
Fall the stream below,
Gurgling onward ever
With unceasing flow.

About Evening
Henry Hiles's Evening paints a serene picture of the natural world at dusk, where peace settles over the landscape. The text contrasts the tranquil slumber of nature with the persistent, flowing stream, which continues its journey unhindered. This imagery extends to a spiritual reflection, suggesting that while the world may not offer true rest, solace can be found in a higher power. This secular SATB setting captures the contemplative mood of the English text, offering a gentle yet profound musical experience for choirs.
