Now the sun has passed away With the golden light of day, Now the little stars on high Twinkle in the mighty sky, Father mereiful and mild, Listen to Thy little child. Loving Father, put away All things wrong I've done to-day; Make me gentle, true, and good; Make me love Thee as I should; Make me feel by day and night I am ever in Thy sight. Heavenly Father, hear my prayer; Take Thy child into Thy care; Let Thy angels good and bright Watch around me through the night. Keep me now, and, when I die, Take me to the glorious sky: Father mereiful and mild, Listen to Thy little child. |
