And feel another's care.

Our little stock improve;
Increase our faith, confirm our hope,
And perfect us in love.

Give us in heav'n a happy lot,
With all the fanctify'd.

With me ftay all this day,

Of all good, life and food,

EVENING.

READ Sovereign let my evening fong
Like holy incense rise;

Affift the offerings of my tongue
To reach the lofty skies.

2 Thro' all the dangers of the day
Thy Hand was ftill my guard,
And ftill to drive my wants away,
Thy mercy stood prepar'd.
3 Perpetual bleffings from above,
Incompass me around;

But O how few returns of love
Hath my Creator found?

4 What have I done for him that dy'd
To fave my wretched foul?
How are my follies multiply'd,
Faft as my minutes roll!

5 LORD, with this guilty heart of mine To thy dear crofs I flee,

And to thy grace my foul refign,
To be renew'd by thee.

6 Sprinkled afresh with pard'ning blood, I lay me down to rest,

Or on my Saviour's breaft.

LORY to thee, my GoD, this night,
For all the bleffings of the light;
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
Under thine own almighty wings.
2 Forgive me, LORD, for thy dear Son,
Whatever ills this day I've done;
That with the world, myself, and thee,
I, ere I fleep, at peace may be.

3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that fo I may
Triumphing rife at the laft day.
