CHILD'S PRAYER, by                    
First Line: I am weary, seek repose
Last Line: Gazing on the world asleep.
Subject(s): Prayer


I am weary, seek repose,
Both my little eyes I close.
Father, let Thine eyes so bright
Watch above my bed all night!

If I have done wrong to-day,
Then forgive it, Lord, I pray!
For Thy grace and Jesus' blood
Make all harm and sorrow good.

All my kin, O God, let rest
In Thy hand, and keep them blessed.
Friends and strangers, big and small,
Shall be in Thy keeping all.

Send to aching hearts repose,
Tearful eyes, I pray Thee, close:
And the moon in Heaven keep,
Gazing on the world asleep.
