All's Well
Language: English
The day is ended. Ere I sink to sleep My weary spirit seeks repose in thine: Father! forgive my trespasses, and keep This little life of mine. With loving kindness curtain thou my bed; And cool in rest my burning pilgrim-feet, Thy pardon be the pillow for my head; So shall my sleep be sweet. At peace with all the world, dear Lord,and Thee, No fears my soul's unwavering faith can shake; All's well, whichever side the grave for me The morning light may break.
