1. In sleep’s serene oblivion laid,
I safely pass’d the silent night;
Again I see the breaking shade,
I drink again the morning light.
2. Refresh’d, I bless the waking hour,
Once more, with awe, rejoice to be;
My conscious soul resumes her power,
And springs, my Saviour God, to Thee !
3. 0 guide me through the various maze,
Which I and Thine are forced to tread ;
And spread Thy shield’s protecting blaze,
Where dangers press around my head.
