The tempest cloud may low’r,
The surge of sin may beat
Upon earth’s troubled shore;
Refrain:
God doth His own in safety keep,
He giveth His beloved sleep,
He giveth His beloved sleep.
2 The din of war may roll,
With all her raging flight,
Grief may oppress the soul,
Throughout the weary nigh; [Refrain]
3 In childhood’s winsome page,
In manhood’s joyous bloom,
In feebleness and age,
In death’s dark gathering gloom; [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Sorrow and care may meet]
He Giveth His Beloved Sleep
