Savior, who kept me safe today

1 Saviour, who kept me safe to-day,
The Lord, who takes my sins away,
My thankful soul shall bless:
Thou worthy art, O Son of God,
Of endless praise, for through thy blood,
My soul shall rest in peace.

2 I lay me down, and thou my Lord,
With all thy angels me shalt guard,
To thee my soul I trust;
For thou art able, and wilt keep
Poor me, amongst my fellow sheep,
And saints in thee made just.

3 Forsake me not, dear Lord, but stay,
Along with me 'till break of day,
With grace encompass me;
And in the morning, when I wake,
Me in thy arms, dear Saviour, take,
And I'll go on with thee.

4 And when I pass through death's dark shade,
O Lord, afford thy kindest aid,
Preserve me from surprise,
That I with courage may pass through,
And bid all mortal things adieu,
And mount above the skies.

5 There will I fill some humble place,
Near my Redeemer's lovely face,
And join the glorious throng;
Where saints, and angels all rejoice,
In songs, with an immortal voice,
In one eternal home.
