1. How can I sleep, when angels sing, | |||
And all the saints on high | |||
Cry glory to th' eternal King, | |||
The Lamb that once did die. | |||
2. When guardian angels fill the room, | |||
And hovering round my bed, | |||
Do clap their wings, in love to him, | |||
Who is my glorious head. | |||
3. O ! how can I inactive lie, | |||
And thoughtless all the night. | |||
When those celestial spirits praise | |||
The Lord with all their might. | |||
4. Such joyful spirits never sleep | |||
Their love is ever new; | |||
Then, O my soul, no longer cease | |||
To love and praise him too.}} | |||

5. For I, of all the race. that fell, | |||
Or all the heavenly host, | |||
Have greatest cause with humbler soul | |||
To love and praise him most. | |||
6. Did God the Father love men so. | |||
As to give up his Son, | |||
To be a ransom, and redeem | |||
Them from the sins they’d done. | |||
7. Did Jesus leave the Father’s breast, | |||
That heaven of heavens on high, | |||
To come to earth, this world of woe, | |||
For guilty worms to die. | |||
8. And has the Holy Ghost applied | |||
The blood of Christ to me, | |||
To cleanse my guilty soul from sin, | |||
And let my spirit free?}} | |||

9. With me O heaven and earth admire, | |||
Who am of all the race, | |||
The chiefest sinner, and deserve, | |||
In hell, the hottest place. | |||
10. Yet mercy here and truth doth meet, | |||
And God can justify, | |||
Through Jesus Christ's most precious blood, | |||
So vile a wretch as I. | |||
11. No longer then will I lie here. | |||
But rise and praise and pray; | |||
And join to sing while I enjoy | |||
A glimpse of heavenly day. | |||
12. I’ll view the glories of the Lord, | |||
And serve him all my days. | |||
For what he in his essence is, | |||
My soul shall sing his praise.}} | |||

While them, by faith, I see, | |||
For thanks, adore him, O my soul, | |||
And for his gifts to me. | |||
14. Thanks to the Father for his Son; | |||
To Christ for righteousness, | |||
And the Spirit, because that he | |||
My soul in it did dress.}} | |||
