Comes the bless­èd tho’t with wak­ing,

Idle they nev­er stand;

From His light­house ev­er­more,
In the serv­ice of our Lord,
Living, oh, glo­ry, He’s liv­ing with­in,
Send Thy guard­ian an­gels bright,
Tho’ in help­less­ness I’m sleep­ing,
Naught in it can I con­trol,

Christ the Babe is Lord of all.

keep­ing

So lov­ing­ly keep­ing, keep­ing,
Day ad­vanc­es, la­bor bring­ing,
Day ad­vanc­es, la­bor bring­ing,
And Thou who cam’st on earth to breathe
Led by His glo­ri­ous arm,
Keeping the Lord’s com­mand.
Fearless and loy­al, shield­ing from wrong.
My Fa­ther was guid­ing the helm.
Of the lights along the shore.
When shall earth Thy rule ob­ey?
Of the lights along the shore.
Sleeping nev­er, guard­ing ev­er
Blessing, ho­san­na, amen and amen,
To pro­tect us through the night.
This to me is best of all:
The Lord Je­sus of my soul;
I do not fear the val­ley’s depth,
I do not fear the val­ley’s depth,
Vigil till the morn­ing new
We rest on Thee, and in Thy name we go.
