He that keepest Israel shall not sleep.
Psalm 121:4.
Another day is past,
The hours for ever fled;
And time is bearing me away,
To mingle with the dead.
2 My mind in perfect peace
My Father’s care shall keep;
I yield to gentle slumber now,
For thou canst never sleep.
3 How blesséd, Lord, are they,
On thee securely stayed!
Nor shall they be in life alarmed,
Nor be in death dismayed.
