Baltzly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: When I, dear Lord, arise from sleep Lyrics: 1 When I, dear Lord, arise from sleep, Each day my heart from ev­il keep; On me Thy guar­di­an Spi­rit send, To lead me safe­ly to its end. 2 But should I die along its way, Amid the la­bors of the day, And all the scenes that it at­tend, To Thee my spi­rit I com­mend. 3 And hum­bly ask of Thee, to lend Me wings of an­gels, to as­cend To Thee, in pa­ra­dise to­day; And this in Je­sus’ name I pray.
