HOLY TRINITY. (C.M.) 𝅗𝅥 = 84. Joseph Barnby (1838-1896)

George MacDonald (1824–1905).

Evening Prayer.

O God, whose daylight leadeth down
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.

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.

And when thou givest dreams to men,
Give dreams, O Lord, to me;
That even in visions of the brain
I wander towards thee.
