Original text and translations

English text

Lord! Thou wilt hear me when I pray;
I am forever thine;
I fear before thee all the day
Nor would I dare to sin.

And while I rest my weary head,
From cares and business free;
‘Tis sweet conversing on my bed,
With my own heart and Thee.

I pay this ev’ning sacrifice;
And, when my work is done,
Great God, my faith and hope relies
Upon Thy grace alone.

Thus with my thoughts composed to peace,
I’ll give mine eyes to sleep;
Thy hand in safety keeps my days,
And will my slumbers keep!
