Lyrics
In the night shall my song be of Him, and my prayer shall ascend to the God of my life. O Shepherd of Israel, Thou who callest the stars by name, Wilt Thou not hear me? I will lay me down, will lay me down in peace and take my rest, For it is Thou, Lord, Thou only, that makest me to dwell in safety. I will lay me down, will lay me down in peace and take my rest, For it is Thou, Lord; Thou only, that makest me to dwell in safety, that makest me to dwell in safety. For the angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them. Yea, when the Philistine cometh, When the mighty take spear and bow, Thou art the strong Deliverer! the Lord, mighty in battle! Therefore, therefore will I lay me down, will lay me down in peace and take my rest, for it is Thou, Lord, Thou only that makest me to dwell in safety, that makest me to dwell in safety. I will lay me down in peace, in peace and take my rest, and take my rest.
