After a busy and tiring morning I've been dozing for a few hours on this beautifully warm sunny June day in Cornwall, so I'm offering these : John Henry Cardinal Newman's prayer for a holy rest at the end of the day and a repost of a lovely evening end of day prayer / song. Wishing all a restful night !
May He support us all the day long,
till the shades lengthen and the
evening comes,
and the busy world is hushed,
and the fever of life is
over,
and our work is done.
Then in His mercy may He give us a safe
lodging,
and a holy rest and peace at the last.
Jesus King of angels
Heaven's light
Shine Your face upon this house tonight
Let no evil come into my dreams
Light of heaven keep me in Your peace
Remind me how You made dark spirits flee
And spoke Your power to the raging sea
And spoke Your mercy to a sinful man
Remind me Jesus for this is what I am
CHORUS:
The universe is vast beyond the stars
But You are mindful when a sparrow falls
And mindful of the anxious thoughts
that find me
surround me and bind me
With all my heart
I love You Sovereign Lord
Tomorrow let me love You even more
and rise to speak the goodness of Your name
Until I close my eyes and sleep again
CHORUS
Jesus King of angels heaven's light
Hold my hand and keep me through this night
