Hymn Stanzas of the Week: Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadow

Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadow (TLH 554)
Paul Gerhardt; stanzas 4 and 5

To rest my body hasteth,
Aside its garments casteth,
Types of mortality;
These I put off and ponder
How Christ will give me yonder
A robe of glorious majesty.

Lord Jesus, who dost love me,
Oh, spread Thy wings above me,
And shield me from alarm!
Though evil would assail me,
Thy mercy will not fail me:
I rest in Thy protecting arm.

We sang LSB 880 for Time Out Episode 11, but I think LSB left out stanza 4. :)
