Poem Words (three verses)
1.
Now rest beneath night's shadow
The woodland, field, and meadow -
The world in slumber lies.
But you, my heart, awaking
And prayer and music making:
Let praise to your creator rise.
The woodland, field, and meadow -
The world in slumber lies.
But you, my heart, awaking
And prayer and music making:
Let praise to your creator rise.
2.
Lord Jesus, since you love me,
Now spread your wings above me
And shield me from alarm.
Though evil would assail me,
Your mercy will not fail me;
I rest in your protecting arm.
Now spread your wings above me
And shield me from alarm.
Though evil would assail me,
Your mercy will not fail me;
I rest in your protecting arm.
3.
My loved ones, rest securely,
For God this night will surely
From peril guard your heads.
Sweet slumbers may he send you
And bid his hosts attend you
And through the night watch o'er your beds.
For God this night will surely
From peril guard your heads.
Sweet slumbers may he send you
And bid his hosts attend you
And through the night watch o'er your beds.
