|
|
<p>Now rest beneath night’s shadow<br>
|
|
The woodland, field, and meadow,<br>
|
|
The world in slumber lies;<br>
|
|
But Thou, my heart, awake thee,<br>
|
|
To prayer and song betake thee;<br>
|
|
Let praise to thy Creator rise.
|
|
<p>The radiant sun hath vanished,<br>
|
|
His golden rays are banished<br>
|
|
By night, the foe of day;<br>
|
|
But Christ, the Sun of gladness,<br>
|
|
Dispelling all my sadness,<br>
|
|
Within my heart holds constant sway.</p>
|
|
<p>The rule of day is over<br>
|
|
And shining jewels cover<br>
|
|
The heaven’s boundless blue.<br>
|
|
Thus I shall shine in heaven,<br>
|
|
Where crowns of gold are given<br>
|
|
To all who faithful prove and true.</p>
|
|
<p>To rest my body hasteth,<br>
|
|
Aside its garments casteth,<br>
|
|
Types of mortality;<br>
|
|
These I put off and ponder<br>
|
|
How Christ will give me yonder<br>
|
|
A robe of glorious majesty.</p>
|
|
<p>Lord Jesus, Who dost love me,<br>
|
|
Oh, spread Thy wings above me<br>
|
|
And shield me from alarm!<br>
|
|
Though evil would assail me,<br>
|
|
Thy mercy will not fail me:<br>
|
|
I rest in Thy protecting arm.</p>
|
|
<p>My loved ones, rest securely,<br>
|
|
For God this night will surely<br>
|
|
From peril guard your heads.<br>
|
|
Sweet slumbers may He send you<br>
|
|
And bid His hosts attend you<br>
|
|
And through the night watch o’er your beds.</p>
