Evening: Commending the Soul to God

Verse 1

Thou seest my feebleness; Father! be Thou my power, My help and refuge in distress, My fortress and my tower!

Verse 2

Give me to trust in Thee; Be Thou my sure abode; My helm and sword and buckler be, My Saviour and my God!

Verse 3

Myself I cannot save, Myself I cannot keep; But strength in Thee I surely have, Whose eyelids never sleep.

Verse 4

My soul to Thee alone, For always, I commend; Thou lovest me, Father, as Thine own, And lovest to the end.
