Hymn for Evening Lyrics by Ned Rorem

Evidence of Things Not Seen

1998

All praise to thee, my God, this night
For the blessings of the light:
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings
Beneath thine own almighty wings
Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son
The ill that I have done;
That with the world, myself, and thee
I, ere I sleep, at peace must be
May my soul on thee repose
And with sleep mine eyelids close;
Sleep shall me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake
Amen
