Evening draws in.....

Evening and morning, sunset and dawning,
Wealth, peace and gladness, comfort in sadness,
These are Thy works; all the glory be Thine!
Times without number, awake or in slumber,
Thine eye observes us, from danger preserves us,
Causing Thy mercy upon us to shine.

Paul Ger­hardt (1607-1676); first pub­lished in the third set of Ebeling's Pauli Gerhardi Geist­liche An­dacht­en in 1666.

A restful and safe night, dear blipfriends.....
