Evening Prayer.
O God, whose daylight leadeth down
Into the sunless way,
Who, with thy sweet repose, dost crown
The labour of the day.
Into the sunless way,
Who, with thy sweet repose, dost crown
The labour of the day.
Take it, O Lord, and make it clean
With thy forgiveness dear;
That so the thing that might have been,
To-morrow may appear.
With thy forgiveness dear;
That so the thing that might have been,
To-morrow may appear.
And when my thought is all astray,
Yet think thou on in me;
That with the new unsullied day
My soul wake fresh and free.
Yet think thou on in me;
That with the new unsullied day
My soul wake fresh and free.
And when thou givest dreams to men,
Give dreams, O Lord, to me;
That even in visions of the brain
I wander towards thee.
Give dreams, O Lord, to me;
That even in visions of the brain
I wander towards thee.
