An Evening Prayer + 

I am a bubble + 

Upon thy ever-moving, resting sea: + 

Oh, rest me now from tossing, trespass, trouble! + 

Take me down into thee. + 

Give me thy peace. + 

My heart is aching with unquietness: + 

Oh, make its inharmonious beating cease! + 

Thy hand upon it press. + 

My Night! my Day! + 

Swift night and day betwixt, my world doth reel: + 

Potter, take not thy hand from off the clay + 

That whirls upon thy wheel. + 

O Heart, I cry + 

For love and life, pardon and hope and strength! + 

O Father, I am thine; I shall not die, + 

But I shall sleep at length! + 
