PSALM 4. v. 3–5, 8, (C. M.) An Evening Psalm.
I
Lord, thou wilt hear me when I pray;I am for ever thine:
I fear before thee all the day,
Nor would I dare to sin.
II
And while I rest my weary headFrom cares and business free,
'Tis sweet conversing on my bed
With my own heart and thee.
III
I pay this evening sacrifice;And when my work is done,
Great God, my faith and hope relies
Upon thy grace alone.
IV
Thus with my thoughts compos'd to peace,I'll give mine eyes to sleep;
Thy hand in safety keeps my days,
And will my slumbers keep.
