Evening Hymn.

Now the sun hath gone to rest,
Stars are coming faint and dim,
And the bird within his nest
Sweetly sings his evening hymn.
  
Have I tried mamma to mind?
Was I gentle in my play?
Have I been a true and kind,
Pleasant little girl to-day?
  
Then will God take care of me
Kindly, through the long dark night;
Bright and happy, I shall see
Once again the morning light.
