Author: Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676); Catherine Winkworth (1829-1878) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #57 (1985) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Now all the woods are sleeping,
And night and stillness creeping
O’er city, man, and beast;
But thou, my heart, awake thee,
To pray’r awhile be take thee,
And praise thy Maker ere thou rest.
2 My Jesus, stay Thou by me,
And let no foe come nigh me,
Safe sheltered by Thy wing;
But would the foe alarm me,
O let him never harm me,
But still Thine angels round me sing!
3 My loved ones, rest securely,
From every peril surely
Our God will guard your heads;
And happy slumbers send you,
And bid His hosts attend you,
And golden armed watch o’er your beds. Topics: Worship Evening Worship Scripture: Psalm 3:5 Tune Title: INNSBRUCK
