Whilst Thou unwearied watch didst keep;
To Thee all Praise and Glory!
My heart’s Best part,
Upward springing, Loudly singing,
Shall adore Thee,
While on earth I walk before Thee.
This day my Fortress, Lord, abide,
Now ope Thy Gates of Mercy wide,
Within their shelter place me;
My Castle and my Rock Thou art,
