EVENING HYMN by REGINALD HEBER

First Line: GOD, THAT MADEST EARTH AND HEAVEN
Last Line: THIS LIVELONG NIGHT!
Subject(s): PRAYER;

God, that madest Earth and Heaven,
Darkness and light!
Who the day for toil hast given,
For rest the night;
May Thine Angel guards defend us,
Slumber sweet Thy merey send us,
Holy dreams and hopes attend us,
This livelong night!
