Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #526 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Evening Hymns in general Lyrics: 1 Great God! to Thee my evening song,
With humble gratitude I raise:
Oh, let Thy mercy tune my tongue,
And fill my heart with lively praise.
2 My days, unclouded as they pass,
And ev'ry gently rolling hour,
Are monuments of wondrous grace,
And witness to Thy love and power.
3 And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart,
Too oft regardless of Thy love,
Ungrateful, can from Thee depart,
And from the path of duty rove.
4 Seal my forgiveness in the blood
Of Christ, my Lord; His Name alone
I plead for pardon, gracious God,
And kind acceptance at Thy throne.
5 With hope in Him mine eyelids close,
With sleep refresh my feeble frame;
Safe in Thy care may I repose,
And wake with praises to Thy Name. Languages: English
Great God! to Thee my evening song
