AN EVENING SONG by ISAAC WATTS

First Line: AND NOW ANOTHER DAY IS GONE
Last Line: REJOICING IN THY LOVE.
Subject(s): EVENING; SUNSET; TWILIGHT;

AND now another day is gone,
I'll sing my Maker's praise;
My comforts every hour make known
His providence and grace.

. . . .

I lay my body down to sleep;
Let angels guard my head,
And through the hours of darkness keep
Their watch around my bed.

With cheerful heart I close my eyes,
Since thou wilt not remove;
And in the morning let me rise
Rejoicing in thy love.
