EVENING PRAYER.
Good Lord, to thee I bow my head;Protect me helpless in my bed;
May no ill dream disturb the night,
Nor sinful thought my soul affright!
And sacred sleep enfold me round,
As with a guardian-angel's wings,
From every earthly sight and sound;
While tranquil influence, like the dew
Upon thine outer world of things,
Prepares a morning fresh and new.
