A Selection of Psalms and Hymns ‎#CCXXXVIII

CCXXXVIII. Evening

1 Lord, thou wilt hear me when I pray
I am for ever thine;
I fear before thee all the day,
Nor would I dare to sin.

2 And while I rest my weary head,
From cares and bus'ness free;
'Tis sweet conversing on my bed,
With my own heart and thee.

3 I pay this evening sacrifice;
And when my work is done,
Great God, my faith and hope relies,
Upon thy grace alone.

4 Thus with my thoughts compos'd to peace,
I'll give mine eyes to sleep;
Thy hand in safety keeps my days,
And will my slumbers keep.
