Hymn 83

1. I’ll thank thee, O my God and Saviour,
   and praise thee in my evensong.
   The sun may set, but thy great favour
   shalt thou through darkest night prolong.
   Thy help and grace were ever near us
   more than a father didst thou care.
   Thou Fount of blessing, thou dost hear us;
   thy wondrous mercies I declare.
   
   
2. I know in whom my hope is founded
   through ever-changing day and night.
   Thou hast me with thy love surrounded;
   thou art my Rock, I trust thy might.
   When once life’s evening veils enshroud me,
   I’ll bring, though worn by ills and strife,
   for every day thou hast allowed me
   thee higher praise, O God of life!
