SONG XXVI.

An EVENING SONG.

I.

AND now another Day is gone, I'll sing my Maker's Praise; My Comforts ev'ry Hour make known His Providence and Grace.

II.

But how my Childhood runs to waste! My Sins, how great their Sum! LORD, give me Pardon for the past; And Strength for Days to come.

III.

I lay my Body down to Sleep; Let Angels guard my Head, And thro' the Hours of Darkness keep Their Watch around my Bed.

IV.

With cheerful Heart I close my Eyes, Since thou wilt not remove; And in the Morning let me rise Rejoicing in thy Love.
