| With memories of a shower | B |
| And sanctified with stillness | C |
| By this most holy hour | B |

| The leaves forget to whisper | B |
| Of soft and secret things | D |
| And every bird is silent | A |
| With folded eyes and wings | D |

| O blessed hour of midnight | E |
| Of sleep and of release | F |
| Thou yieldest to the toiler | B |
| The wages of thy peace | F |

| And I who have not laboured | E |
| Nor borne the heat of noon | G |
| Receive thy tranquil quiet | E |
| An undeserved boon | G |

| Yes truly God is gracious | C |
| Who makes His sun to shine | H |
| Upon the good and evil | I |
| And idle lives like mine | H |
| - | |
| Upon the just and unjust | E |
| He sends His rain to fall | J |
| And gives this hour of blessing | K |
| Freely alike to all | J |
