Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #723 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Voice of Praise Lyrics: 1 Thus far the Lord has led me on,
Thus far his power prolongs my days;
And every evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
2 Much of my time has run to waste,
And I perhaps am near my home;
But he forgives my follies past,
He gives me strength for days to come.
3 I lay my body down to sleep;
Peace is the pillow for my head;
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed.
4 Thus when the night of death shall come,
My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,
And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb,
With sweet salvation in the sound. Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar; Memorials of Divine Grace Scripture: Job 11:18-19
