Poems (Kimball)/Evening Hymn of Praise

​
EVENING HYMN OF PRAISE.
SWEET Jesu! through the hours of light,  For every deadly sin restrained, For dangers passed, for comfort gained, Praise, praise to Thy all-tender might.                Amen.
Sweet Jesu! through the hours of night  Thy watch of grave and mercy keep;  Thou slumberest not albeit we sleep; Praise, praise to Thy all-tender might.                Amen.
Sweet Jesu! though our sins affright  And fill with shame our sorrowing breast,  In Thee we pardon find and rest, Praise, praise to Thy all-tender might.                Amen.
Sweet Jesu! when the world is bright,  And when 't is dark, alike be near,  Our stay of peace, our staff of cheer;Praise, praise to Thy all-tender might.                Amen.
​
Sweet Jesu! Thine by day and night, In joy or grief, in life or death,  Fill Thou with praise our every breath, Praise, praise to Thy all-tender might.                Amen.
