LyicsBLESS'D be thy name forever,
Thou of life the guard and giver;
Thou dost guard thy children sleeping,
Ever safe while in thy keeping.
We have seen thy wondrous might
Through the shadows of the night;
Thou who slumb'rest not, nor sleepest,
Bless'd are they thou kindly keepest.
God of ev'ning's yellow ray,
God of yonder dawning day,
That rises from the distant sea,
Like breathings of eternity.
Thine the flaming orbs of light;
Thine the darkness of the night;
Thine are all the gems of even-
God of angels, God of heaven.
Thou of life the fountain art,
Dwell forever in my heart;
God of life that fade shall never,
Glory to thy name forever.
