1 Giver and guardian of our sleep,
To praise thy name we wake;

And to thy glory live.

3 Upon us by thy mighty hand,
Our words and thoughts restrain;
Bow every soul to thy command,
Nor let our faith be vain.

4 Subject of hope, we wait thy hour
Which shall salvation bring;
When all we are shall own thy power
And dwell with Christ, our King.

Amen.
