- 1Great God, to Thee my evening song,
- With humble gratitude I raise:
- Oh, let Thy mercy tune my tongue,
- And fill my heart with lively praise.
- 2My days unclouded as they pass,
- And every gently rolling hour,
- Are monuments of wondrous grace,
- And witness to Thy love and power.
- 3And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart,
- Too oft regardless of Thy love,
- Ungrateful, can from Thee depart,
- And from the path of duty rove.
- 4Seal my forgiveness in the blood
- Of Christ my Lord; His Name alone
- I plead for pardon, gracious God,
- And kind acceptance at Thy throne.
- 5With hope in Him mine eyelids close;
- With sleep refresh my feeble frame;
- Safe in Thy care may I repose,
- And wake with praises to Thy Name.
- 6Amen.
