Text: | Giver and Guardian of our sleep |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | WARWICK |
Composer: | Samuel Stanley |
1 Giver and Guardian of our sleep,
To praise thy name we wake;
Still, Lord, thy helpless servants keep,
For thine own mercy's sake.
2 The blessings of another day,
We thankfully receive;
O may we only thee obey,
And to thy glory live.
3 Uphold us with thy mighty hand;
Our words and thoughts restrain;
And bow our souls to thy command,
Nor let our faith be vain.
4 Prisoners of hope, we wait the hour
Which shall salvation bring;
When all we are shall own thy power,
And call our Jesus King.
