Now, now that the sun hath veil’d his lightAnd bid the world goodnight;To the soft bed my body I dispose,But where shall my soul repose?Dear, dear God, even in Thy arms,And can there be any so sweet security!Then to thy rest, O my soul!And singing, praise the mercyThat prolongs thy days.Hallelujah!
