Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #428 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship Lyrics: 1 Lord! thou wilt hear me when I pray;
I am forever thine;
I fear before thee all the day,
Nor would I dare to sin.
2 And while I rest my weary head,
From cares and business free;
'Tis sweet conversing on my bed,
With my own heart and thee.
3 I pay this ev'ning sacrifice;
And, when my work is done,
Great God, my faith and hope relies
Upon thy grace alone.
4 Thus with my thoughts compos'd to peace,
I'll give mine eyes to sleep;
Thy hand in safety keeps my days,
And will my slumbers keep! Topics: Special Occasions Morning and Evening Languages: English
