Lyics

Ere I sleep, for eve-ry fa-vor,

This day showed by my God,

I do bless my Sa-viour.



Ere I sleep, for every favor,

This day showed by my God,

I do bless my Saviour.



Leave me not, but ever love me;

Let thy peace be my bliss,

Till thou hence remove me.



Thou, my Rock, my Guard, my Tower,

Safely keep, while I sleep,

Me with all thy power.



And whene'er in death I slumber,

Let me rise with the wise

Counted in their number.
