Acquaint thee, O spirit, acquaint thee with God,

And joy, like the sunshine, shall beam on thy road;

And peace, like the dew, shall descend round thy head,

And sleep, like an angel, shall visit thy bed.

Acquaint thee, O spirit, acquaint thee with God,

And He shall be with thee when fears are abroad;

Thy safeguard in danger that threatens thy path,

Thy joy in the valley and shadow of death.
