English poem
EVENING HYMN.
by Eliza Lee Cabot Follen (1787–1860)
Thou, from whom we never part, Thou, whose love is everywhere, Thou who seest every heart, Listen to our evening prayer.
Father! fill our souls with love, Love unfailing, full, and free, Love no injury can move, Love that ever rests on thee.
Heavenly Father! through the night Keep us safe from every ill; Cheerful as the morning light, May we wake to do thy will.
