The Night Watches

‘Sun of my soul! thou Saviour dear, It is not Night if Thou be near; Oh! may no earth-born cloud arise, To hide Thee from Thy servant’s eyes!

While the title of this second part indicates its design as a series of evening meditations, that title may be more peculiarly suggestive of those experiences of earthly sorrow, during which this has ever proved the most blessed solace —” I have remembered THY NAME, 0 Lord, in the night ?^

May every reader be able to make the assurance of the Psalmist his own — “The Lord will command His loving-kindness in the day-time, and in the night His song shall be with me.” — (Ps. xlii. 8.)

“When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My wearied eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour’s breast!

Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee I cannot live:
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die 1”
