The Sunday School Hymnal ‎#17

17. Saviour, ere in sweet repose

1 Saviour, ere in sweet repose
I my weary eyelids close,
Let me love with perfect love
Child and man, and God above.

2 Guard me when in sleep I lie,
Plead for me with God on high;
All that stained my soul today,
Wash it in Thy blood away.

3 If my slumbers broken be,
Waking, let me think of Thee;
Darkness cannot make me fear
If I feel that Thou art near.
