Now rest beneath night’s shadow The woodland, field and meadow: The world in slumber lies; But thou, my heart, awake thee, To prayer and song betake thee, Let praise to thy Creator rise. 1-2 Words by Paul Gerhardt / Music by Heinrich Isaak, Arr. by Johann S. Bach
Lord Jesus, who does love me, O spread Thy wings above me, Now Rest Beneath Night’s Shadow Lord Jesus, who does love me, O spread Thy wings above me, And shield me from alarm; Tho’ Satan would devour me, Let angel-guards sing o’er me: “This child of God shall meet no harm.” 2-2
