Evening Hymn (Bohne)

Weary and worn

I long for rest—

Close Thou my eyes in sleep;

O let me lie up­on Thy breast

My rest in Thee com­plete!

Give me that in­ner con­scious­ness

Of Thine ex­ceed­ing peace

And from all sor­row

grief and pain

Shall come a sweet re­lease.

Then in the morn­ing gird anew

My soul with strength di­vine;

The word of Thy sal­va­tion be

Assurance I am Thine!

Choose Thou the path in life for me

And lead me by Thy hand;

May ev­ery im­pulse of my soul

Respond to Thy com­mand.
