Tune:AN EVENING HYMN IN THE WILDERNESS
Composer:S. W.

39. An evening hymn in the wilderness

1 God of the forests, fields, and floods,
Thy care be round us spread:
As tenants of the pathless woods,
We rest our weary head.

2 The clouds and storms by thee are led--
By thee the beasts of prey
With daily care are ruled and fed,
And thee they must obey.

3 Thine eyes look down from heaven above,
With sleepless tender grace;
Oh! let us share thy guardian love
And rest in thine embrace.
