Great God, to Thee My Evening Song

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. Great God, to thee my evening song

    With humble gratitude I raise;

    Oh, let thy mercy tune my tongue

    And fill my heart with lively praise.

  2. 2. My days, unclouded as they pass,

    And ev’ry onward rolling hour

    Are monuments of wondrous grace

    And witness to thy love and pow’r.

  3. 3. With hope in thee mine eyelids close;

    With sleep refresh my feeble frame.

    Safe in thy care may I repose

    And wake with praises to thy name.

Text: Anne Steele, 1716–1778
