Hymns for the Amusement of Children (1791)/At Undressing in the Evening

These cloaths, of which I now divest Myself, ALL-SEEING EYE, Must be one day (that day be blest) Relinquish'd and laid by.

Thou cordial sleep, to death akin, I court thee on my knee; O let my exit, free from sin, Be little more than Thee.

But if much agonizing pain My dying hour await, The Lord be with me to sustain, To help and to abate.

O let me meet Thee undeterr'd, By no foul stains defil'd! According to thy Holy Word, Receive me as a Child.
