405. Thus far the Lord has led me on

1 Thus far the Lord hath led me on,
Thus far his pow'r prolongs my days;
And ev'ry ev'ning shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.

2 Much of my time has run to waste,
And I, perhaps, am near my home:
But he forgives my follies past
And strength supplies for days to come.

3 I lay my body down to sleep;
Peace is the pillow of my head:
His ever-watchful eye will keep
Its constant guard around my bed.

4 Faith in his name forbids my fear:
O may thy presence ne’er depart!
And in the morning may I bear
Thy loving kindness on my heart!
