Cheerful Confidence.

IN mercy, Lord, remember me, Through all the hours of night, And grant to me most graciously The safeguard of thy might.

With cheerful heart I close mine eyes, Since thou wilt not remove: Oh, in the morning let me rise Rejoicing in thy love.

Or, if this night should prove my last, And end my transient days, Lord, take me to my promis'd rest, Where I may sing thy praise.
