NEW HOPE MUSIC - "Evening Prayer", by Ralph Merrifield

Een zachtjes gezongen slaapliedje, getuigend van dankbaarheid.

Avondgebed

Dank voor deze dag,
die 'k van U kreeg vandaag,
al wat 'k nodig had wist U precies.
Hoewel ik niet waard ben te ontvangen, Heer,
U zegent mij, ja, U zegent mij.

Mag ik heilig dromen,
om U bij 't ochtendgloren beter te verstaan.
't Is wonderschoon te vertoeven in Uw schaduw,
elke dag.
Oooooooooooooooh.

Literal translation of Evening Prayer:

Thanks for this day,
that I received from You today,
You knew exactly all that I needed.
Although I am not worth to receive, Lord,
You bless me, yes, You bless me.

May I dream holy,
to better understand You in the morning glow.
It is wonderful to linger in Your shadow,
every day.
Oooooooooooooooh.
