Evening: Memorials of His Grace

Verse 1

Thus far the Lord hath led me on, Thus far His pow'r prolongs my days; And ev'ry evening shall make known Some fresh memorial of His grace.

Verse 2

Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home; But He forgives my follies past And gives me strength for days to come.

Verse 3

I lay my body down to sleep; Peace is the pillow for my head; His ever-watchful eye will keep Its constant guard around my bed.

Verse 4

Faith in Thy name forbids my fear; O may Thy presence ne’er depart! And in the morning may I bear Thy loving-kindness on my heart!
