Divine Protection Acknowledged.

MY God was with me all the night, And gave me sweet repose; His angels watch'd me while I slept, Or I had never rose.

Now for the mercies of the night My humble thanks I'll pay, And unto God I'll dedicate The first fruits of the day.

In pressing dangers, fears and death, Thy goodness I'll adore, And praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more.

My life, if thou preserve my life, Thy sacrifice shall be; And death, when death must be my lot, Shall join my soul to thee.
