HYMN.I know, when I lie down to sleep,That God is near my bed;That angels watch by his commandAround my infant head.I know, when I kneel down to pray,That still my God is there;He hears my words, he sees my thoughts,And will accept my prayer.I know when I go forth to play,That God is by my side;Through every hour, at every step,He is my guard and guide.I know his eye sees everythingIn earth, and sea and air;That he, in darkness as in light,Can see me everywhere.Then let me guard each thought, each word,Lest he should chance to findEvil within a heart that shouldBe gentle, meek, and kind.
