Cotton Mather's verse in English :: :: University of Virginia Library

In Peace with God Ly down I Will;
My quiet Sleep I'l take:
In glad Assurance me to dwell,
Thou, glorious Lord, wilt make

Or,

In Peace with God Ly down I will;
My Quiet Sleep I'l Thankful take.
In glad Assurance me to dwell,
My Great Redeemer, Thou wilt make.

Sometimes I thus varied it.

In Peace with God, & far from Fear.
I'l now Ly down to Rest;
My God, In thy kind Love and Care,
Safe & forever Blest.
