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.
2. Lord, this wayward heart forgive, Teach me more like Thee to live ; Every evil thought subdue ; May Thy grace my strength renew.
3. 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.
