Ere I Sleep

 

Words by Rev. John Cennick (1718-1755) , melody by Rev. Joseph Jowett (1784-1856)

From "The Hymnal"  of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, 1933

 

1. Ere I sleep, for every faro

This day shown, By my God

I will bless my Savior

 

2. O, my Lord, what shall I render

To Thy name, Still the same,

Gracious, good and tender?

 

3.  Leave me not, but ever love me; 

Let thy peace, Dwell in my

From all cares release me*

 

*last two lines by Martha Maria
