Lyics

Through the day thy love hath spared us,

Wearied we lie down to rest;

Through the silent watches guards us,

Let no foe our peace molest.

Father! thou our guardian be;

Sweet it is to trust in thee.



Wandering in the land of strangers,

Dwelling in the midst of foes,

Us and ours preserve from danger:

In thy love we all repose.

Father! thou our guardian be;

Sweet it is to trust in thee.
