| lyric | Peaceful woods, the dusk descending,
fragrant now with summer’s ending,
there I rested, and e’er sleeping,
praying, sought His sweet safekeeping.
Thus I lay there, silent, praying,
„Lord, I wander ever straying;
wand’ring through the world,
yet knowing, thou will guard me, and my going.“
„Let not darkness from thee hide me,
may thine angels watch beside me.
Guard us all while we are sleeping,
safe for ever in thy keeping.
Ever, ever iin thy keeping.“ |
