Tune: Tallis\' Evening Hymn
(\'All praise to thee my God, this night\')
********
Forgive me Lord, I fear and fret
And your love, mercies, do forget
Though we human, we cannot know
All things, why you have made some so
But help us trust, your will discern
That we in you more grow and learn
Leaving all in your tender care
There they shall prosper and well fare
In doubts and turmoils, mind\'s distress
May we come to you, and confess
Your wisdom be best, higher than
Thoughts, plans, workings of any man
So in searching our own hearts we
Pray your Spirit our guide shall be
Patience and perseverance give
We shall grow as in you we live
On day by day, \'tis all you ask
To tend to each day\'s duties, tasks
Not stay in past of yesterday
Nor anxious of tomorrow\'s way
For each day given from your hand
You sustain all of every land
Help us your kingdom to seek first
And to do your will be our thirst
