An Evening Psalm

.Safely through another day, laying down to rest,

hoping I have kept the way, doing what is best.

Praying for the ones in need, praying for Your peace indeed,

so that I can learn to heed, living as one blessed.

May my dreams be of Your glory, my strength be spent on You,

May I live to tell Your story, all that's right and true,

The way You Lord, would have me take, those straight and narrow paths You make,

and in the morning when I wake, begin the walk anew.

And so I thank You for the Grace to live another day,

and for strength to win the race, come whatever may.

Thank You for the way you love, for Your wisdom from above,

Holy Spirit, gentle dove, come to light our way.

So, safely through another night, dear Savior gently lead,

and when I wake to morning's light, Your blessed Word I'll read.

May I then Your wisdom find, bringing blessed peace of mind,

cares and fears alike unwind, as on Your Word I feed.

Amen
