| 1 | 1 | The night is come, like to the day, | The night is come, like to the day, |
| 2 | 2 | Depart not | Depart not Thou, great GOD, away. |
| 3 | 3 | Let not my sins, black as the night, | |
| 4 | 4 | Eclipse the lustre of Thy light: | |
| 5 | 5 | Keep still in my Horizon; for to me | |
| 6 | 6 | The Sun makes not the day, but Thee. | |
| 7 | 7 | Thou, Whose nature cannot sleep, | |
| 8 | 8 | On my temples Centry keep; | |
| 9 | 9 | Guard me 'gainst those watchful foes, | |
| 10 | 10 | Whose eyes are open while mine close. | |
| 11 | 11 | Let no dreams my head infest, | |
| 12 | 12 | B | But such as Jacob's temples blest. |
| 13 | While I do rest, my Soul advance; | ||
| 14 | Make my sleep a holy trance; | ||
| 15 | That I may, my rest being wrought, | ||
| 16 | Awake into some holy thought; | ||
| 17 | And with as active vigour run | ||
| 18 | My course, as doth the nimble Sun. | ||
| 19 | Sleep is a death; O make me try, | ||
| 20 | By sleeping, what it is to die; | ||
| 21 | And as gently lay my head | ||
| 22 | On my grave, as now my bed. | ||
| 23 | However I rest, great GOD, let me | ||
| 24 | Awake again at last with Thee; | ||
| 25 | And thus assur'd, behold I lie | ||
| 26 | Securely, or to awake or die. | ||
| 27 | These are my drowsie days; in vain | ||
| 28 | I do not wake to sleep again: | ||
| 29 | O come that hour, when I shall never | ||
| 30 | Sleep again, but wake for ever. |
