Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

Tag evening hymn

1 post from July 2013
Lord, may I be at rest in You
   and sweetly sleep the whole night through.
Refresh my strength, for Your own sake,
   so I may serve You when I wake.

Thomas Ken’s “Evening Hymn”.

According to Louis Benson in Studies of Familiar Hymns, John Keble used to recite this hymn to himself before bed. (I think that’s a fantastic idea.)
