- An Evening Hymn / Thus far the Lord has led me on / Thus far his power prolongs my days / And every evening should make known / Some fresh memorials of his grace / Much of my time has run to waste / And I perhaps am near my home / But he forgives my follies past / He gives me strength for days to come / Mary Duberry Berlace Beaumont / Natchez October 1830 //
