God Who Madest Earth and Heaven

Verse 1

God, who madest earth and heaven, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; Who the day and night hast given, Sun and moon and starry host; Whose almighty hand sustains Earth and all that it contains:

Verse 2

God, I thank Thee, in Thy keeping Safely have I slumbered here; Thou hast guarded me while sleeping From all danger, pain, and fear; And the cunning evil foe Hath not wrought my overthrow.

Verse 3

Let the night of my transgression With night's darkness pass away. Jesus, into Thy possession I resign myself today; In Thy wounds I find relief From all sorrow, sin, and grief.

Verse 4

Help me as the morn is breaking, In the spirit to arise, So from careless sloth awaking, That, when o'er the aged skies Shall the Judgment Day appear, I may see it without fear.

Verse 5

Lead me, and forsake me never, Guide my wanderings by Thy Word; As Thou hast been, be Thou ever My Defense, my Refuge, Lord. Never safe except with Thee, Thou my faithful Guardian be.

Verse 6

O my God, I now commend me Wholly to Thy mighty hand; As the powers that Thou dost lend me Let me use at Thy command. Lord, my Shield, my Strength divine, Keep me with Thee, I am Thine.

Verse 7

From all evil one's dark power Let Thine angel guard my soul; Warning, guiding me each hour, All the devil's wiles control Till my final rest be come, And Thine angel bear me home.
