Now the light has gone away; Father, listen while I pray, Asking Thee to watch and keep And to send me quiet sleep. Jesus, Saviour, wash away All that has been wrong today; Help me ev'ry day to be Good and gentle, more like Thee. Let my near and dear ones be Always near and dear to Thee; Oh, bring me and all I love To Thy happy home above. |
