He Giveth His Beloved Sleep

Verse 1

Sorrow and care may meet, The tempest cloud may low'r, The surge of sin may beat Upon earth's troubled shore;

Chorus

God doth his own in safety keep; He giveth his beloved sleep, He giveth his beloved sleep.

Verse 2

The din of war may roll With all its raging flight; Grief may oppress the soul Thro'out the weary night;

Verse 3

In childhood's winsome page, In manhood's joyous bloom, In feebleness and age, In death's dark, gath'ring gloom;
