EVENING HYMN.

Gold pattern of leaves
AND NOW ANOTHER DAY IS GONE,
I'LL SING MY MAKER'S PRAISE:
MY COMFORTS, EVERY HOUR, MAKE KNOWN
HIS PROVIDENCE AND GRACE.
Gold pattern of leaves
BUT HOW MY CHILDHOOD RUNS TO WASTE
MY SINS, HOW GREAT THEIR SUM
LORD, GIVE ME PARDON FOR THE PAST,
AND STRENGTH FOR DAYS TO COME.
Gold pattern of leaves
I LAY MY BODY DOWN TO SLEEP,
LET ANGELS GUARD MY HEAD;
AND THROUGH THE HOURS OF DARKNESS KEEP
THEIR WATCH AROUND MY BED.
Gold pattern of leaves
WITH CHEERFUL HEART I CLOSE MINE EYES,
SINCE THOU WILT NOT REMOVE;
AND IN THE MORNING, LET ME RISE
REJOICING IN THY LOVE.

The "T. STEVENS MANF=R COVENTRY" logo is recorded at the top fold over of the silk, and not in the customary place, on the fold at the pointed end.

This probably makes it a very early silk.

Stevens logo woven on the reverse top turn-over of this bookmark

Stevens recorded two bookmarks with the title " EVENING HYMN ". The version above was the Church Of England version, written by Isaac Watts, in 1715; although under the general title of " AN EVENING SONG "
