1. God, that ma- dest earth and Hea- ven, dark- ness and light; Who the day for toil hast giv- en, for rest the night; May Thine an- gel guards de- fend us, Slum- ber sweet Thy mer- cy send us; Ho- ly dreams and hopes at- tend us, all through the night.
2. And when morn a- gain shall call us, to run life's way, May we still, what- e'er be- fall us, Thy will o- bey. From the pow'r of e- vil hide us, In the nar- row path- way guide us, Nor Thy smile be e'er de- nied us all through the day.
3. Guard us wa- king, guard us sleep- ing, and when we die, May we in Thy might- y keep- ing all peace- ful lie; When the last dread call shall wake us, Do not Thou, our God, for- sake us, But to reign in glo- ry take us with Thee on high.
