887 Now the Light Has Gone Away

1      Now the light has gone away;
Father, listen while I pray,
Asking Thee to watch and keep
And to send me quiet sleep.

 

2      Jesus, Savior, wash away
All that has been wrong today;
Help me ev’ry day to be
Good and gentle, more like Thee.

 

3      Let my near and dear ones be
Always near and dear to Thee;
O bring me and all I love
To Thy happy home above.

 

4      Now my evening praise I give;
Thou didst die that I might live.
All my blessings come from Thee;
Oh, how good Thou art to me!

 

5      Thou, my best and kindest Friend,
Thou wilt love me to the end.
Let me love Thee more and more,
Always better than before.

Our Father

    Our Father

Who art in heaven

    Who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name

    Hallowed be thy name

 

Thy kingdom come

    Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done

    Thy will be done

On earth

    On earth

As in heaven

    As in heaven

 

And give us this day

    Give us this day

Our daily bread

    Our daily bread

And forgive our sins

    And forgive our sins

As we forgive others

    As we forgive others

And lead us not

    And lead us not

Into temptation

    Into temptation

But deliver us

    But deliver us

From evil

    From evil

 

For thine

    For thine

Is the kingdom

    Is the kingdom

And the power

    and the power

(unison)

And the glory, forever, and ever, and ever, Amen.

 

 

Our Father

Who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name
