Lyrics:
When at night I go to sleep
Fourteen angels watch do keep
Two my head are guarding
Two my feet are guiding
Two are on my right hand
Two are on my left hand
Two who warmly hold me
Two with love enfold me
Two who show me when I rise
The way to heavens paradise

Softly sleeping, then it seems
Heaven enters in my dreams.
Angels hover round me
Whispering they have found me;
Two are sweetly singing
Two are garlands bringing
Strewing me with roses as my soul reposes.
God will not forsake me
When dawn at last will wake me.
