[L’arpeggiata - An Evening Hymn Upon a Ground lyrics]
Now, now that the sun hath veil’d his light
And bid the world goodnight to the soft bed
To the soft, the soft bed my body I dispose
But where, where shall my soul repose?
Dear, dear God, even in Thy arms
Even in Thy arms
And can there be any so sweet security!
Can there be any so sweet, so sweet security!
Then to thy rest, O my soul
Then to thy rest, O my soul
And singing, praise the mercy
That prolongs thy days
And singing, praise the mercy
That prolongs thy days
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
And bid the world goodnight to the soft bed
To the soft, the soft bed my body I dispose
But where, where shall my soul repose?
Dear, dear God, even in Thy arms
Even in Thy arms
And can there be any so sweet security!
Can there be any so sweet, so sweet security!
Then to thy rest, O my soul
Then to thy rest, O my soul
And singing, praise the mercy
That prolongs thy days
And singing, praise the mercy
That prolongs thy days
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
