John R. Bolles

“ Still with thy living beauty; angel feet
This day have trod our threshold, but to shield,
And not to bear thee hence, my baby sweet.
Lullaby, lullaby!
One radiant star is shining in the west,
A softer radiance is in thine eyes ”

“ And we will love and praise him,
For he is very good.
2.
Keep us in the midnight,
Saviour dear,
Through the hours of darkness,
Oh, be thou near!
Powerless and lowly,
We lean on thy arm—
Watcher of Israel,
Keep us from harm! ”
