Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1841

Hymn 108
L.M.
1. He lives—the everlasting God,
Who built the world—who spread the flood;
The heavens, with all their host, he made
And the dark regions of the dead.

2. He guides our feet—he guards our way;
His morning smiles adorn the day;
He spreads the evening veil—and keeps
The silent hours, while Israel sleeps.

3. Israel—a name divinely blest,
May rise secure—securely rest:
Thy holy guardian's wakeful eyes
Admit no slumber, nor surprise.

4. Long as I live, I'll trust his power;
Then in my last, departing hour,
Angels, that trace the airy road,
Shall bear me homeward to my God.
