An Evening -Psalm.


 * 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 business 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 composed to peace,
 * I'll give mine eyes to sleep;
 * Thy hand in safety keeps my days,
 * And will my slumbers keep.
