1

By night when others soundly slept,

And had at once both case and rest,

My waking eyes were open kept

And so to lie I found it best.

2

I sought Him whom my soul did love,

With tears I sought Him earnestly;

He bowed His ear down from above.

In vain I did not seek or cry.

3

My hungry soul He filled with good,

He in His bottle put my tears,

My smarting wounds washed in His blood,

And banished thence my doubts and fears.

4

What to my Savior shall I give,

Who freely hath done this for me?

I'll serve Him here whilst I shall live

And love Him to eternity.
