Lord I prepare to take repose

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCLI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord I prepare to take repose, Since much fatigued I am; May I in peace my eye-lids close, And rest in Jesus' name. 2 The notice of thy watchful eye, Can keep my life secure; Enclos'd within thy vail to lie, Defends from Satan's pow'r. 3 Through all the changes of this day, Thy love to me was shown; Thy countless blessings ev'ry way, On me were shower'd down. 4 Unworthy as I am indeed, Thy gifts were not withheld; In ev'ry time of want and need, Thy succour never fail'd, 5 My labours for this day I close, And cast my cares away; I lay me down to take repose, Until another day. 6 But first my off'ring I will bring, To thee my Lord and God, And praise, and thank thee, O my King, For all thy hand bestow'd.
