EVENING.

Thus would I live: yet now Not I, but He

In all His power and love Henceforth alive in me.

161

One SACRED TRINITY!

One LORD DIVINE!

May I be ever His,

And He for ever mine. Amen.

" It is Thou, Lord, only that makest me dwell in safety."

THE day is past and over;

All thanks, O LORD, to Thee; I pray Thee now that sinless The hours of dark may be:

O JESU, keep me in Thy sight,

And guard me through the coming night.

The joys of day are over;

I lift my heart to Thee, And ask Thee that offenceless The hours of dark may be:

O JESU, keep me in Thy sight, And guard me through the coming night.

The toils of day are over;

I raise the hymn to Thee, And ask that free from peril The hours of dark may be: O JESU, keep me in Thy sight, And guard me through the coming night.

Lighten mine eyes, O SAVIOUR, Or sleep in death shall I, And he, my wakeful tempter, Triumphantly shall cry

" Against him have I now prevailed; Rejoice! the child of God has failed."
