Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadow

Paul Gerhardt • Catherine Winkworth • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 4:8

Verse 1

Now rest beneath night's shadow The woodland, field and meadow: The world in slumber lies; But thou, my heart, awake thee, To prayer and song betake thee, Let praise to thy Creator rise.

Verse 2

Lord Jesus, who dost love me, O spread Thy wings above me, And shield me from alarm; Tho' Satan would devour me, Let angel-guards sing o'er me: "This child of God shall meet no harm."
