Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS

He who keepeth thee will not slumber Ps. 121:3

1.  Thy love has spared our lives today
    Though we lay-down, spent and worn,
    Guard us in the stillness of night,
    Us no pow'rs of darkness harm;
    Jesus be our Guardian ever,
    It is sweet to trust in Thee.

2. Pilgrims in this world and strangers
    Dwelling in the midst of foes;
    Keep us and dear ones from danger,
    On thy wings in comfort sleep;
    And when life's distress is over,
    May our souls repose in Thee.

Amen.
