He lives, the everlasting God,
Who built the world, who spread the flood
The heavens, with all their host, he made,
And the dark regions of the dead.
He guides our feet, he guards our way
His morning smiles adorn the day;
He spreads the evening veil, and keeps
The silent hours while Israel sleeps.
Israel, a name divinely blest,
May rise secure, securely rest:
Thy holy guardian's wakeful eyes
Admit no slumber nor surprise.
Long as I live I'll trust his power;
Then in my last, departing hour,
Angels, that trace the airy road,
Shall bear me homeward to my God.
