HYMN XXXVI. At UNDRESSING in the EVENING.
I
These cloaths, of which I now divestMyself, ALL-SEEING EYE,
Must be one day (that day be blest)
Relinquish'd and laid by.
II
Thou cordial sleep, to death akin,I court thee on my knee;
O let my exit, free from sin,
Be little more than Thee.
III
But if much agonizing painMy dying hour await,
The Lord be with me to sustain,
To help and to abate.
IV
O let me meet Thee undeterr'd,By no foul stains defil'd!
According to thy Holy Word,
Receive me as a Child.
