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
