Heav’nly Fa­ther, while we’re sleep­ing,
Let no foe our peace mo­lest;
May we rest in Thy care.
Each day my heart from ev­il keep;
Thou spread’st the cur­tains of the night,
Each day my heart from ev­il keep;
To Thee, the boun­te­ous Giv­er,
All our toils and la­bors o’er,
Inspirer and hear­er of pray­er,
And laugh at dan­ger near.
And heard me from His ho­ly hill.
In all its pur­ity and pow­er.
As the swift day rolls on,
Life and strength of all who live,
He will not let thy foot be moved,
Good Lord, pre­serve us free!
By pe­ni­tence make Thee her friend,
Seek His pro­tect­ing care by night,
Daniel sweet­ly sleeps;
Whose pow­er de­fends us, and whose pre­cepts guide,

guard­ian

Faithful watch above us keep­ing,
Sweet it is to trust in Thee.
May we walk by Thy side,
To lead me safe­ly to its end.
Thy sov­er­eign Word re­stores the light,
To lead me safe­ly to its end.
Again we meet to thank Thee,
We shall dwell for­ev­er­more.
My all to Thy co­ve­nant care,
And save, by ways un­known,
I laid my wea­ry frame to rest;
Its wit­ness­es vouch­safe to make:
And keep the por­tals of our hearts
Glory to Thy name we give
With watch­ful and un­slum­ber­ing care,
The laws and rul­er of our land,
end
Call, while He may be found;
Holy vi­gil keeps.
Glory su­preme be Thine till time shall end.
