1
God who made the earth and heaven
Darkness and light
You the day for work have given
For rest the night
May Your angel guards defend us
Slumber sweet Your mercy send us
Holy dreams and hopes attend us
All through the night
2
And when morn again shall call us
To run life’s way
May we still whate’er befall us
Your will obey
From the pow’r of evil hide us
In the narrow pathway guide us
Never be Your smile denied us
All through the day
3
Guard us waking guard us sleeping
And when we die
May we in Your mighty keeping
All peaceful lie
When the trumpet’s call shall wake us
Then O Lord do not forsake us
But to reign in glory take us
With You on high
4
Holy Father throned in heaven
All holy Son
Holy Spirit freely given
Blest Three in One
Grant us grace we now implore You
Till we lay our crowns before You
And in worthier strains adore You
While ages run
