| 1 Servant of God, remember The stream thy soul bedewing, The grace that came upon thee Anointing and renewing. 2 When kindly slumber calls thee, Upon thy bed reclining, Trace thou the Cross of Jesus, Thy heart and forehead signing. 3 The Cross dissolves the darkness, And drives away temptation; It calms the wavering spirit By quiet consecration. 4 *Begone, begone, the terrors Of vague and formless dreaming; Begone, thou fell deceiver, With all thy boasted scheming. 5 *Begone, thou crooked serpent, Who, twisting and pursuing, By fraud and lie preparest The simple soul’s undoing; 6 *Tremble, for Christ is near us, Depart, for here he dwelleth, And this, the Sign thou knowest, Thy strong battalions quelleth. 7 Then while the weary body Its rest in sleep is nearing, The heart will muse in silence On Christ and his appearing. 8 To God, eternal Father, To Christ, our King, be glory, And to the Holy Spirit, In never-ending story. Amen. | The New English Hymnal #80a (1986) The New English Hymnal #80b (1986) |
