LyicsSaviour, who kept me safe today,
The Lord, who takes my sins away,
My thankful soul shall bless:
Thou worthy art, O Son of God,
Of endless praise, for though thy blood,
My soul shall rest in peace.
I lay me down, and thou my lord,
With all thy angels me shalt guard,
To thee my soul I trust;
For thou art able, and wilt keep
Poor me, amongst my fellow sheep,
And saints in thee made just.
Forsake me not, dear Lord, but stay,
Along with me 'till break of day,
With grace encompass me,
And in the morning, when I wake,
Me in thy arms, dear Saviour, take,
And I'll go on with thee.
And when I pass through death's dark shade,
O Lord, afford thy kindest aid,
Preserve me from surprise,
That I with courage may pass through,
And bid all mortal things adieu,
And mount above the skies.
There will I fill some humble place,
Near my Redeemer's lovely face,
And join the glorious throng;
Where saints, and angels all rejoice,
In songs, with an immortal voice,
In one eternal home.
