Dread Sovereign! Let My Evening Song

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9898 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Dread Sovereign! let my evening song Like holy incense rise; Assist the offerings of my tongue To reach the lofty skies. 2 Through all the dangers of the day Thy hand was still my guard, And still to drive my wants away Thy mercy stood prepared. 3 Perpetual blessings from above Encompass me around, But O how few returns of love Hath my Creator found! 4 What have I done for Him that died To save my wretched soul? How are my follies multiplied, Fast as my minutes roll! 5 Lord, with this guilty heart of mine To Thy dear cross I flee; And to Thy grace my soul resign, To be renewed by Thee. 6 Sprinkled afresh by pardoning blood, I lay me down to rest, As in th’embraces of my God, Or on my Savior’s breast.
