The Lord my pasture shall prepare,

And feed me with a shepherd's care;

His presence shall my wants supply,

And guard me with a watchful eye.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719): Spectator. No. 444.

Ye mariners of England,

That guard our native seas;

Whose flag has braved, a thousand years,

The battle and the breeze!

Thomas Campbell (1777-1844): Ye Mariners of England.

Ye diners-out from whom we guard our spoons.

Thomas B Macaulay (1800-1859): Political Georgics.

Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber!

Holy angels guard thy bed!

Heavenly blessings without number

Gently falling on thy head.

Isaac Watts (1674-1748): A Cradle Hymn.
