To Thee our hearts their music bring,
Thee our united voices sing:
To Thee our pure affections soar,
Thee may our chastened souls adore.
So when the deepening shades prevail,
And night o’er day hath dropped her veil:
Faith may no wildering darkness know,
But night with Faith’s own splendour glow.
O sleepless ever keep the mind!
Our guilt in lasting slumbers bind;
