EVENING HYMN [FOR A CHILD], by JOHN PIERPONT Poet's Biography
First Line: Another day its course hath run
Last Line: My spirit to my father's will.
First Line: Another day its course hath run
Last Line: My spirit to my father's will.
Another day its course hath run,
And still, O God, Thy child is blest;
For Thou hast been by day my sun,
And Thou wilt be by night my rest.
Sweet sleep descends, my eyes to close;
And now, when all the world is still,
I give my body to repose,
My spirit to my Father's will.
