[Thee in the watches of the night]

Have I not remembered Thee in my bed? —lxiii. 7.

Thee in the watches of the night
Do I not, Lord, remember still,
And meditate with calm delight
On the dear counsels of Thy will?
Thy will is my perfection here;
And sighs for this my whole desire
To' attain Thy heavenly character,
And spotless in Thine arms expire.
