Night Watches

I remember you in the night watches,
My Love, My Life, My All.
As yet another day slips away,
Keep hold of me, lest I fall. 

Darkness seeks to take my joy,
To steal my soul's delight,
To rob me of my treasure,
And steal away Your light. 

The thought of it yields 
sorrow upon sorrow.
Oh Father! Be not gone 
From my tomorrow. 

Then I remember your promise. 
A good work you began,
A good work you will accomplish. 

So rest now, my weary soul. 
Darkness will not deceive us.
Tomorrow is sealed.
You belong to Jesus.
