- 1Jesus, wilt Thou guard the slumberOf a little child like me?Wilt Thou watch in darkness o’er me,That protected I may be?Yes, I know that Thou wilt keep me,So I close my weary eyes;Trusting Thee to guard my slumber‘Neath Thy gracious, shelt’ring skies.
- 2In Thine arms, O Jesus, fold meLet me be Thy little lamb;Close unto Thy bosom hold me,Give me slumber deep and calm.
