All 's Well

by Harriet McEwen Kimball

The day is ended. Ere I sink to sleep,   My weary spirit seeks repose in Thine. Father! forgive my trespasses, and keep   This little life of mine. With loving-kindness curtain Thou my bed,   And cool in rest my burning pilgrim-feet; Thy pardon be the pillow for my head;   So shall my sleep be sweet. At peace with all the world, dear Lord, and Thee,   No fears my soul’s unwavering faith can shake; All ’s well, whichever side the grave for me   The morning light may break.
