Text: | God, that madest earth and heaven |
Author: | Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 |
Author: | Richard Whately, 1787-1863 |
Tune: | ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT |
1 God, that madest earth and heaven,
darkness and light;
who the day for toil hast given,
for rest the night;
may thine angel-guards defend us,
slumber sweet thy mercy send us,
holy dreams and hopes attend us,
this livelong night.
2 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
and, when we die,
may we in thy mighty keeping
all peaceful lie:
when the last dread call shall wake us,
do not thou our God forsake us,
but to reign in glory take us
with thee on high.
