V. To John Mostyn, Esq
I vvill
lift up Ev'n from the
Lord my help doth come
I vvill
lift up Ev'n from the
Lord my help doth come, who made, of Heav'n and Earth the total sum
See see and behold, for he that Israel keeps
shall not be seiz'd with slumber nor with sleep.
Neither the Sun by Day, nor the Moon nor the Moon by Night;
nay, th'Lord himself preserve preserve thy Soul with light. The
Lord preserve thy going out, and coming in, for evermore, for evermore,
from hurt or sin, from hurt or wrong, from shame or sin.
