nine o'clock
Hugh selected , `` Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning ; '' Sibyl , `` Luther 's Judgment Hymn ; '' and Bessie , `` Come ye Disconsolate , '' in order that Hugh should sing the solo . Aunt Faith sat by the window and listened , looking out into the night , and thinking of her circle of loved ones beyond the stars . The young voices sang on from hymn to chant , from chant to anthem , and from anthem back to simple choral . At nine o'clock Tom and Gem went to bed , and at half-past nine , Sibyl closed the organ and said `` good-night ; '' Aunt Faith was left with Bessie and Hugh , who joined her on the broad-cushioned window-seat and looked out with her into the night . `` I like the darkness of a summer night , '' said Hugh ; `` how bright the stars are ! '' `` We do not know where heaven is , '' said Aunt Faith , `` but it is a natural thought that our loved and lost are ` beyond the stars . ' We too shall go there some day .
