Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #424 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship Lyrics: 1 Thus far the Lord has led me on;
Thus far his pow'r prolongs my days;
And ev'ry ev'ning 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,
And gives me strength for days to come.
3 I 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.
4 Faith in his name forbids my fear:
O may thy presence ne’er depart!
And in the morning may I bear
Thy loving kindness on my heart! Topics: Special Occasions Morning and Evening Languages: English
