Tune: St Clement

(\'The day thou gavest Lord is ended\')

*******

Forgive me Lord, where I no fruit grow

But only my selfishness show

Give me patience and perseverance

My heart lowly in penitence

 

Evening falls, another passing day

May I look back on it and say

That something done, said, for your glory

May have value eternally

 

\'Til light shines, where darkness persisting

So joyful outcomes praises bring

Where I dull, dry, or simply resting

In you, in Christ\'s image growing

 

For you have for me, for all, your plan

For every child, woman, and man

If troubled conscience, you come to bless

Enabling release, forgiveness

 

Give sweet sleep and quiet mind, healing

Through night and day, in everything

Help us not be anxious, each day take

Step at a time for your name\'s sake
