“I MEDITATE IN THE NIGHT WATCHES.”
I muse, my Saviour, on the days,
Days ne'er forgot by Thee,
When walking on these earthly ways,
Thou didst remember me.
Days ne'er forgot by Thee,
When walking on these earthly ways,
Thou didst remember me.
I call to mind Thy prayers upon
The hills of Galilee,
When, kneeling in the night alone,
Thou didst remember me.
The hills of Galilee,
When, kneeling in the night alone,
Thou didst remember me.

I see Thee by Thy foes beset
In dark Gethsemane,
Where, swooning in Thy bloody sweat,
Thou didst remember me.
In dark Gethsemane,
Where, swooning in Thy bloody sweat,
Thou didst remember me.
Upon the cross I hear Thee cry
“'Tis finished,” and I see,
In the great woe of Calvary,
Thou didst remember me.
“'Tis finished,” and I see,
In the great woe of Calvary,
Thou didst remember me.
And though Thou now from earth art gone,
By faith I come to Thee,
And know that, seated on Thy throne,
Thou dost remember me.
By faith I come to Thee,
And know that, seated on Thy throne,
Thou dost remember me.
Thy love my heart will ever guard,
Dear will its memory be;
This night, and every night, O Lord,
I will remember Thee.
Dear will its memory be;
This night, and every night, O Lord,
I will remember Thee.
