I was singing the Evening Hymn to myself while washing up, and I realised that I couldn't truthfully get past the third line ('To thee my morning hymns ascended'). So, I have re-written a version that my conscience is more comfortable with: EVENING HYMN The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended The darkness falls at thy behest To thee my morning prayers should have ascended But I was grumpy and sleepy and stressed. I'm sorry, Lord, that I have stumbled Through today without your word; And any prayer I might have mumbled I'd be surprised if you have heard. And I will soon be deep in slumber My night time prayers cut off midway, I wouldn't like to count the number Of things that I'll forget to say. But wait here, Lord, while I am sleeping, You know the troubles of my heart, And when my snooze alarm starts beeping, Help me to make a better start.
