Lyrics
God keep you, dearest, all this lonely night
The winds are still
The moon drops down behind the western hill
God keep you, dearest
Keep you ’till the light
God keep you, dearest, when slumbers melt away
And care and strife
Take up new arms to fret our waking life
God keep you through the battle of the day
And keep you through the battle of the day
God keep you, dearest
Nay, beloved soul, how vain
How poor is prayer
I can but say again, again in prayer
God keep you every time and everywhere
