¶Liedtext

1. How can I sleep, when angels sing, And all the saints on high Cry glory to th' eternal King, The Lamb that once did die. 2. When guardian angels fill the room, And hovering round my bed, Do clap their wings, in love to him, Who is my glorious head. 3. O ! how can I inactive lie, And thoughtless all the night. When those celestial spirits praise The Lord with all their might. 4. Such joyful spirits never sleep Their love is ever new; Then, O my soul, no longer cease To love and praise him too.
