In mercy, Lord, remember me,
Thru all the hours of night;
And grant to me, most graciously,
The safe guard of Thy might.
With cheerful heart I close mine eyes,
Since Thou wilt not remove;
Oh, in the morning let me rise,
Rejoicing in Thy love.
Or, if this night should prove the last,
And end my transient days,
Oh, take me to Thy promised rest,
Where I may sing Thy praise.
