Hymn 492

1I GIVER and guardian of our sleep,
To praise thy name we wake ;
Still, Lord, thy watchful servants keep,
For thine own mercy's sake.

2The blessing of another day
We thankfully receive ;
Oh ! may we only thee obey,
And to thy glory live.

3Uphold us with thy mighty hand ;
Oh ! keep our souls from sin ;
And how our souls to thy command,
Nor let the faith be vain.

4Full rays of hope, we wait the hour
Which shall be our faithful hour ;
When all we are shall own thy power,
And call our Jesus King.
