Some day the sun of life will set,
And the stars calm­ly shone from their beau­ti­ful height,
Hasten now, the Christ Child to see.
Then let me close my eye­lids
On the rocking, rolling boat,
start
Lord, when we have not any light,
Within a man­ger peace­ful lies
When I put out to sea.
From out His ho­ly hill.
Be with them in the si­lent hour;
Jesus, for­give us, that we keep
And all his life, let an­gels keep
With bless­ings fill their hands.
The lit­tle Lord Je­sus,
And then de­feat I ne’er shall know.
And then de­feat I ne’er shall know.
In the town up­on the steep,
Our bo­dies and our pow­ers.

asleep

From which none ev­er wakes to weep;
And, leav­ing all that I hold dear,
Lo, the qui­et that fell in that ho­ly, mys­te­ri­ous hour
Quietly come and whis­per soft­ly,
Let Thy good will and coun­sel
The disciples woke Him,
There par­don for my sins ab­ounds;
Then through the still­ness of the night,
While o’er Him mo­ther Ma­ry bends,
Too full for sound and foam.
For He sus­tained me still.
Be Thou their help­er, strength, and tow­er.
No more let en­vy, wrath and pride,
May he not bear the cross in vain,
O grant them rich suc­cess,
The cat­tle are low­ing,
Or in the clouds shall see Thee come,
Or in the clouds shall see Thee come,
When the shep­herds, from the sky,
Thou Morn­ing Star, we pray,
