Author: Samuel Lover Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10355 First Line: Oh, watch you well by daylight! Refrain First Line: Oh, watch you well by daylight! Lyrics: 1 Oh, watch you well by daylight!
By daylight you may fear;
But keep no watch in darkness,
The angels then are near.
For Heav’n the sense bestoweth
Our waking life to keep;
But tender mercy showeth
To guard us in our sleep.
Refrain:
Oh, watch you well by daylight!
By daylight you may fear;
But keep no watch in darkness,
The angels then are near.
2 Oh, watch you well in pleasure!
For pleasure oft betrays;
But keep no watch on sorrow,
When joy withdraws its rays;
For in the hour of sorrow,
As in the darkness drear,
To Heaven trust the morrow,
For angels then are near. [Refrain]
3 Oh, watch you well when fortune
Sits smiling at your door;
When wealth and influence, mighty,
Are growing more and more;
Be firm, and do not falter,
Be true to God and man,
And Heaven will reward you,
As nothing else e’er can. [Refrain]
