Jesus, Saviour, on Thy breast
I would lay me down to rest;
While mine eyelids gently close,
Thou wilt grant me calm repose.
May Thine angels vigil keep
While I lay me down to sleep.
Lord, this wayward heart forgive,
Teach me more like Thee to live;
Every evil thought subdue;
May Thy grace my strength renew.
May Thine angels vigil keep
While I lay me down to sleep.
When the day of life is past,
And the twilight comes at last,
When I cross the narrow sea,
I shall still abide in Thee.
May Thine angels vigil keep
While I lay me down to sleep.
