LyicsSERENE I laid me down,
Beneath his guardian care:
I slept-and I awoke, and found
My kind Preserver near.
Thus does thine arm support
This weak, defenceless frame;
But whence these favors, Lord, to me,
All worthless as I am?
O how shall I repay
The bounties of my God?
This feeble spirit pants beneath
The pleasing, painful load.
My life I would anew
Devote, O Lord to thee;
And in thy service I would spend
A vast eternity.
