Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; Catherine Winkworth, 1829-1878 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary #986 (1972) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadow
The woodland, field and meadow:
The world in slumber lies;
But thou, my heart, awake thee,
To prayer and song betake thee,
Let praise to thy Creator rise.
2 Lord Jesus, who dost love me,
O spread Thy wings above me,
And shield me from alarm;
Tho' Satan would devour me,
Let angel-guards sing o'er me:
"This child of God shall meet no harm." Topics: Book Four: Occasional Selections, Gospel Songs and Hymns; Services, Occasions Morning, Evening Hymns Scripture: Psalm 4:8 Languages: English Tune Title: O WELT ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN
