On a hu­man mo­ther’s breast;
Bright as the sun­shine break­ing from the dark­ness.
O Je­sus, keep us in Thy sight,
Apart from thy Lord.
Apart from thy Lord.
Every man’s understanding,
Swing low, swing low, star in the sky,
Sin has bruised the Vic­tor’s heel;
And who has swept the stone
From far and wide, O Ca­na­da,
Keep us all with­in thy care;
Blessèd be Thy name for ev­er,
Near the tomb where Je­sus slept,
O! may we nev­er lose Thy truth—
Of Je­sus and His love;
For rest the night!
That Thou didst plant our fa­thers here,
And some, when He com­mands them, go
Which surpasses every man’s understanding,

Guard

Let no fear­ful dreams dis­tress you,
Chanting this our li­ta­ny.
Lord God Al­migh­ty.
The joys of day are ov­er;
Evil is on thy track, press­ing thee hard;
Evil is on thy track, press­ing thee hard;
Will guard your thoughts
Swing low, swing low, star in the sky,
Bring the Ro­man’s boast­ed seal,
The migh­ty seal­èd stone
God keep our land glo­ri­ous and free!
Guard the steps that far may roam.
Thou canst guard Thy crea­tures sleep­ing;
Pacing to and fro alone,
Keep from us su­per­sti­tious fears,
To the man­sions pre­pared ab­ove.
Slumber sweet Thy mer­cy send us;
A vine­yard to the plant­er dear!
Lord, give Thine an­gels ev­ery day
And the peace of God is God as peace
