511b. Ere I sleep, for every favor

1 Ere I sleep, for every favor
This day showed
By my God,
I will bless my Saviour.

2 O my Lord, what shall I render
To Thy Name,
Still the same,
Gracious, good, and tender?

3 Leave me not, but ever love me;
Let Thy peace
Be my bliss,
Till Thou hence remove me.

Amen.
