82. Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadow

1 Now rest beneath night's shadow The woodland, field, and meadow: The world in slumber lies; But thou, my heart, awake thee, To prayer and song betake thee, Let praise to thy Creator rise.

2 Lord Jesus, who dost love me, O spread thy wings above me, And shield me from alarm; Though Satan would devour me, Let angel guards sing o'er me: "This child of God shall meet no harm."
