Lyics

My God was with me all the night,

And gave me sweet repose;

His angels watch'd me while I slept,

Or I had never rose.



Now, for the mercies of he night,

My humble thanks I'll pay;

And unto God I'll dedicate

The first fruits of the day.



In midst of dangers, fears and deaths,

Thy goodness I'll adore;

And praise thee for thy mercies past,

And humble hope for more.



My life, if thou preserve my life,

Thy sacrifice shall be;

My death, when death shall be my lot,

Shall join my soul to thee.
