My blessed Redeemer

Rescue me from this sleep

Do tell me now wake up, wake up

Jesus shall make thee whole.

Do lay Thy hands on me

And wake me now from this sleep

Give me the understanding Lord

Thy might, Thy pow’r how great.

Let me cry unto Thee

And let me be watchful

Lest I fall into temptation

And thereby loose my shield.

Now let me be prepared

Against the foe’s attack

For ever to stand uprightly

And look unto Thee.

Thou seest my weakness Lord

Jesus my strength Thou art

My helper in adversity

My refuge ad my shield.

Lord let me trust in Thee

Be Thou my dwelling place

Thou art my shield and my buckler

And Thou art my Saviour.

I cannot save myself

Nor can I keep myself
