My God was with me all the night

To use this site you could have selected the tab "TEXTS" and typed your subject line in the search box for first lines. You would have quickly found that the song was by Burkett, not Beckett. Since there aren't many text files for older hymnals here yet, I don't think you would have found them...but...I did some research and found two hymnals with the lyrics which vary only slightly.

1
My God was with me all the night,
And gave me sweet repose;
His angels watch’d me while I slept,
Or I had never rose.

2
Now for the mercies of the night,
My humble thanks I’ll pay;
And unto God I’ll dedicate,
The first fruits of the day.

3
In midst of dangers, fear and death,
The goodness I’ll adore,
And praise thee for thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more.

4
My life, if thou preserve my life,
Thy sacrifice shall be;
My death, when death must be my lot,
Shall join my soul to thee.

My God was with me all the night,
And gave me sweet repose;
His angels watch’d me while I slept,
Or I had never rose.

2
Now for the mercies of the night,
My humble thanks I’ll pay,*
And unto God I’ll dedicate*
The first fruits of the day.

3
In pressing* dangers, fear and death,
The goodness I’ll adore,
And praise thee for thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more.

4
My life, if thou preserve my life,
Thy sacrifice shall be;
My death, when death must be my lot,
Shall join my soul to thee.

I marked the differences that I noticed with an asterisk.
