XI. A Song of Praise for the Evening.

1

Now from the Altar of my Heart
Let Incense Flames arise.
Assist me, Lord, to offer up
Mine Evening Sacrifice.
Awake my Love; Awake my Joy,
Awake my Heart and Tongue.
Sleep not when Mercies loudly call:
Break forth into a Song.

2

Man's Life's a Book of History,
The Leaves thereof are dayes.
The Letters Mercies closely Joyn'd,
The Title is thy Praise.
This day God was my Sun and Shield,
My Keeper and my Guide.
His care was on my Frailty shown,
His Mercies multiply'd.

3

Minutes and Mercies multiply'd
Have made up all this day;
Minutes came quick, but Mercies were
More Fleet and free then they.
New time, new Favours and new Joyes
Do a new Song require.
Till I shall praise Thee as I would,
Accept my Hearts desire.

4

Lord of my Time, whose Hand hath Set
New Time upon my Score,
Then shall I praise for all my Time,
When Time shall be no more.
