Author: M. Fraser Hymnal: Sacred Songs No. 2 #107 (1899) Hymnal Title: Sacred Songs No. 2 First Line: I lay me down in peace to sleep Lyrics: 1 I lay me down in peace to sleep,
And sweet shall be my rest;
And satisfied I shall awake,
With Jesus’ likeness blest.
2 I lay me down in peace to wait
Until the dawn of day,
And rising I shall then behold
All shadows fled away.
3 Oh, slumber calm! Oh, waking bright!
Contented I shall lie,
Until the trump of God shall sound,
And summon me on high. Topics: Resurrection Scripture: Psalm 17:15 Tune Title: [I lay me down in peace to sleep]
