EVENING HYMN.

“Thou also mad'st the night,
“Maker omnipotent! and Thou the day,
“Which we, in our appointed work employ'd,
“Have finish'd, happy in our mutual help,
238

“And mutual love, the crown of all our bliss;
“Ordain'd by Thee, and this delicious place,
“For us too large, where Thy abundance wants
“Partakers, and uncropt falls to the ground.
“But Thou hast promis'd from us two a race,
“To fill the earth, who shall, with us, extol
“Thy goodness infinite, both when we wake,
“And when we seek, as now, thy gift of Sleep.
