1
Lord thou wilt hear me when I pray,
I am forever thine:
I fear before thee all the day,
O may I never 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.
