1
Now all the woods are
sleeping,
And night and stillness
creeping
O'er city, man, and beast;
But thou, my heart, awake
thee,
To pray'r awhile be take
thee,
And praise thy Maker ere
thou rest.
2
My Jesus, stay Thou by me,
And let no foe come nigh
me,
Safe sheltered by Thy wing;
But would the foe alarm me,
O let him never harm me,
But still Thine angels
round me sing!
3
My loved ones, rest
securely,
From every peril surely
Our God will guard your
heads;
And happy slumbers send
you,
And bid His hosts attend
you,
And golden armed watch o'er
your beds.
