The Psalms of David ‎#P4b

P4b. Lord, thou wilt hear me when I pray

1 Lord, thou wilt hear me when I pray,
I am for ever thine;
I fear before thee all the Day,
Nor would I dare to sin.

2 And while I rest my weary Head
From Cares and Business free,
'Tis sweet conversing on my Bed
With my own Heart and Thee.

3 I pay this Evening Sacrifice;
And when my Work is done,
Great GOD, my Faith and Hope relies
Upon thy Grace alone.

4 Thus with my Thoughts compos'd to Peace,
I'll give mine Eyes to Sleep;
Thy Hand in Safety keeps my Days,
And will my Slumbers keep.
