w: The world in slum- ber lies; But Thou, my heart, * a- wake thee,
w: By night, the foe of day; But Christ, the Sun * of glad- ness,
w: The heav- en's bound- less blue. Thus I shall shine * in hea- ven,
w: Types of mort- al- it- y; These I put off * and pon- der
w: And shield me from al- arm! Though e- vil would * as- sail me,

W: 6.My loved ones, rest securely, For God this night will surely
W: From peril guard your heads. Sweet slumbers may He send you
W: And bid His hosts attend you And through the night watch o'er your beds.
