about

Psalm 127:2 “It is in vain that you rise up early
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
for he gives to his beloved sleep.”

lyrics

Sorrow and care may meet,
The tempest cloud may lower
The surge of sin may beat
Upon earth’s troubled shore
God will His own in safety keep,
He giveth His beloved sleep.
The din of war may roll,
With all her raging flight,
Grief may oppress the soul,
Throughout the weary night
In childhood’s winsome page,
In manhood’s joyous bloom,
In feebleness and age,
In death’s dark gathering room
