EVENING HYMN.

Gold pattern of leaves
AND NOW ANOTHER DAY IS GONE,
I'LL SING MY MAKER'S PRAISE:
MY COMFORTS, EVERY HOUR, MAKE KNOWN
HIS PROVIDENCE AND GRACE.
Gold pattern of leaves
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.
Gold pattern of leaves
I LAY MY BODY DOWN TO SLEEP,
LET ANGELS GUARD MY HEAD;
AND THROUGH THE HOURS OF DARKNESS KEEP
THEIR WATCH AROUND MY BED.
Gold pattern of leaves
WITH CHEERFUL HEART I CLOSE MINE EYES,
SINCE THOU WILT NOT REMOVE;
AND IN THE MORNING, LET ME RISE
REJOICING IN THY LOVE.
