He Giveth His Beloved Sleep
Sorrow and care may meet,

[Solo or Quartette.]
1
Sorrow and care may meet,The tempest cloud may lower,The surge of sin may beatUpon earth's troubled shore;
Refrain.
God doth his own in safety keep;He giveth his beloved sleep,He giveth his beloved sleep.
2
The din of war may rollWith all its raging flight;Grief may oppress the soulThroughout the weary night;

In childhood's winsome page,In manhood's joyous bloom,In feebleness and age,In death's dark, gath'ring gloom;
