Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Great God, to thee my evening songWith humble gratitude I raise;Oh, let thy mercy tune my tongueAnd fill my heart with lively praise.
2. My days, unclouded as they pass,And ev’ry onward rolling hourAre monuments of wondrous graceAnd witness to thy love and pow’r.
3. With hope in thee mine eyelids close;With sleep refresh my feeble frame.Safe in thy care may I reposeAnd wake with praises to thy name.
