Пёрселл Генри - An Evening Hymn - текст песни (слова)

Now, now that the sun hath veil'd his light
 And bid the world goodnight;
 To the soft bed my body I dispose,
 But where shall my soul repose?
 Dear, dear God, even in Thy arms,
 And can there be any so sweet security!
 Then to thy rest, O my soul!
 And singing, praise the mercy
 That prolongs thy days.
 
 Hallelujah!
