EN 4982 Servant of God, Remember
2Cor.5.15
Versi Version 1
1
Servant of God, remember
The stream thy soul bedewing,
The grace that came upon thee
Anointing and renewing.
2
When kindly slumber calls thee,
Upon thy bed reclining,
Trace thou the cross of Jesus,
Thy heart and forehead signing.
3
The cross dissolves the darkness,
And drives away temptation;
It calms the wavering spirit
By quiet consecration.
4
Begone, begone, the terrors
Of vague and formless dreaming;
Begone, thou fell deceiver,
With all thy boasted scheming.
5
Begone, thou crooked serpent,
Who, twisting and pursuing,
By fraud and lie preparest
The simple soul’s undoing.
6
Tremble, for Christ is near us,
Depart, for here He dwelleth,
And this, the sign thou knowest,
Thy strong battalions quelleth.
7
Then while the weary body
Its rest in sleep is nearing,
The heart will muse in silence
On Christ and His appearing.
8
To God, eternal Father,
To Christ, our King, be glory,
And to the Holy Spirit,
In never ending story.
