Ere I sleep for every favour

This day show’d

By my God,

I will bless my Saviour

O my Lord, what shall I render

To Thy name,

Still the same,

Merciful and tender?

Thou hast order’d all my goings

In Thy way,

Heard me pray,

Sanctified my doings.

Leave me not, but ever love me;

Let Thy peace

Be my bliss,

Till Thou hence remove me.

Thou my rock, my guard, my tower,

Safely keep,

While I sleep,

Me, with all Thy power.

So, whene’er in death I slumber,

Let me rise

With the wise,

Counted in their number.
