Now that the sun hath veiled his light

and bid the world good night,

to the soft bed my body I dispose,

but where shall my soul repose?

Dear God, even in thy arms, and can there be

any so sweet security?

Then to thy rest, O my soul!

and singing, praise

the mercy that prolongs thy days.

Hallelujah!
