Much of my time has run to waste, And I perhaps am near my home; But he forgives my follies past, He gives me strength for days to come. I lay my body down to sleep, Peace is the pillow for my head; While well-appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed. In vain the sons of earth or hell Tell me a thousand frightful things My God in safety makes me dwell Beneath the shadow of his wings. [Faith in his name forbids my fear; O may thy presence ne'er depart! And in the morning make me hear The love and kindness of thy heart. Thus when the night of death shall come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound.] Scripture: Psalm 4:8

And Fasting mortify'd his Soul, While for their Life he pray'd. 4 They groan'd, and curs'd him on their Bed, Yet still he pleads and mourns; And double Blessings on his Head The righteous GOD returns. 5 O glorious Type of heav'nly Grace!
