Original text and translations

English text

O tender Sleep, how truly blest!
Of ev’ry comforter the best;
Grant us thy peace who come for rest.

Thy gentle hands upon us lay,
Till pain and sorrow pass away
Like shadows of our yesterday.

Heal thou the wounds of ev’ry past,
Keep Hope and Faith for ever fast,
A loving friend until the last.
