The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 1

Part 5 — EVENING HYMN.

Reading edition

O God, whose daylight leadeth down Into the sunless way, Who with restoring sleep dost crown The labour of the day!

What I have done, Lord, make it clean With thy forgiveness dear; That so to-day what might have been, To-morrow may appear.

And when my thought is all astray, Yet think thou on in me; That with the new-born innocent day My soul rise fresh and free.

Nor let me wander all in vain Through dreams that mock and flee; But even in visions of the brain, Go wandering toward thee.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
