about

An Evening Hymn is the opening work of Henry Playford's 1688 collection Harmonia Sacra. It sets words by "Dr. William Fuller, late Lord-Bishop of Lincoln" as published in Nahum Tate's collection of poems for children, Miscellanea Sacra. The piece was not composed for a liturgical use but may have been conceived for performance at private gatherings or as part of a domestic devotional service. (Tommie Andersson)

lyrics

An Evening Hymn

Now, now that the sun hath veil’d his light
And bid the world goodnight;
To the soft bed my body I dispose,
But where shall my soul repose?
Dear, dear God, even in Thy arms,
And can there be any so sweet security!
Then to thy rest, O my soul!
And singing, praise the mercy
That prolongs thy days
Hallelujah!
