- 1Thus far the Lord hath led me on,
- Thus far His power prolongs my days;
- And every evening shall make known
- Some fresh memorial of His grace.
- 2Much 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.
- 3I 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.
- 4Faith 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!
