2 Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers
Dwelling in the midst of foes,

Us and ours preserve from dangers,
In Thine arms may we repose;
And when life's sad day is past,

Rest with Thee in heaven at last.

1 AND now another day is gone
I'll sing my Maker's praise,
My comforts every hour make known,
His providence and grace.

2 But how my childhood runs to waste,
My sins, how great their sum!
Lord, give me pardon for the past,
And strength for days to come.

3 I lay my body down to sleep,
Let angels guard my head;

And through the hours of darkness keep
Their watch around my

bed.

4 With cheerful heart I close mine eyes,

Since thou wilt not remove;

And in the morning let me rise,
Rejoicing in thy love.

1 GLORY to Thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;

Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
Beneath Thine own Almighty wings.

2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son,
The ill that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

dread

3 Teach me to live, that I may
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
With joy behold the judgment-day.

4 O let

my soul on Thee repose,

And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close;
Sleep that may me more active make,
To serve my God, when I awake.

5 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

1 THE day is past; again we close
Our eyes in welcome sweet repose;
Keep us, O God, each passing hour,
Shield us with Thy Almighty power.

2 We own the sins that we have done;
Forgive us through Thy only Son:
O let Thy grace on us descend,
And be our Father and our Friend.

3 Keep us this night from every foe;
O let us still Thy goodness know;
And when the morning dawn we see,
May our first thoughts be thoughts of Thee.

I WILL not fear,

For God is near,

Through the dark night,

As in the light;
And while I sleep,
Safe watch will keep.
Why should I fear

When God is near ?

1 AGAIN, a sinful child, I come,
To seek my Father's face,

And offer up my evening prayer,
Before His throne of

grace.

2 Now, Lord, before I lay me down,

To take my quiet rest,

Give me that peace which comes from Thee,

The sweetest and the best.

3 I know I have not tried to-day
To please Thee as I ought,

And Thou hast heard each naughty word,
And seen each naughty thought.

4 How sinful must my heart appear
To One who looks within!

But Jesus came and shed His blood
To save me from my sin.

5 Through Him who died upon the Cross
Be all my sins forgiven;

And fill my heart with holy thoughts
Of Jesus Christ and Heaven.

6 So may I peacefully lie down
To take my rest to-night,
And safely sleep beneath Thy care,
Until the morning light.

1 Now darkness shades the distant hills,
The little birds are hid and still,
And I my quiet sleep may take,
Since my Creator is awake.

2 How sweet upon my little bed,

To think my Saviour guards my head,
And He a helpless child can keep,
Through all the hours of silent sleep!

HYMN FOR THE LORD'S DAY.

1 THIS is the day of glorious news,
As well for Gentiles as for Jews;
The happy day on which 't was said,
The Lord is risen from the dead.

2 That blessed Jesus who was slain,
This day arose to life again;
And "very early" left the grave,
To comfort those He died to save.

3 Let all who love the Lord rejoice,
And bless His name with cheerful voice;
This day was made His praise to speak,
The first and best of all the week.
