Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
If Thou art near when life is closing
All joyful shall I fall asleep,
Be Thou with me as I awaken,
And claim my soul when I arise
If Thou art near when life is closing,
All joyful shall I fall asleep,
Ah, how serene, were thus my passing,
Thy tender hand upraised in blessing
Would sanctify my slumber deep
Be Thou with me, as I awaken
And claim my soul when I arise.
If Thou art near when life is closing   All joyful shall I fall asleep,   Be Thou with me as I awaken,   And claim my soul when I arise   If Thou art near when life is closing,   All joyful shall I fall asleep,   Ah, how serene, were thus my passing,   Thy tender hand upraised in blessing   Would sanctify my slumber deep   Be Thou with me, as I awaken   And claim my soul when I arise.
