DIRECTIONS FOR THE EVENING.
Review at Night the Actions of the day;What time was well spent, what was thrown away:
Bless God for Mercies, and confess the sin
Thou know'st thou hast been guilty of therein.
To God, through Christ, for Pardon humbly pray;
Resolve against it for the following day.
Dare not to close thy eyes before thou make
All Reckonings clear: Perhaps thou may'st awake
17
Him in the Face, should he present a Book
Of sins unpardon'd? But if thou hast made
Thy Peace through Christ, thou need'st not be afraid;
Both Soul and Body are secur'd from harms,
Thou lodg'd in such a gracious Fathers Arms:
Who all his Children will in safety keep,
And so thou boldly may'st go die, or sleep.
