38. Refreshed by gentle slumbers

1 Refreshed by gentle slumbers,
From care and sorrow free,
Our hearts in tuneful nunbers
Sing praise, O Lord, to Thee.

2 Thou spreadest joy and blessing,
Thou Source of every good;
Then hear us Thee addressing
In songs of gratitude.

3 Oh, may we, ceasing never,
Extol Thee all our days;
Our heart and life be ever
And endless song of praise.
