Holy Father, bless us As the day we close, And the night???s refreshing Grant us in repose. All the day Thy presence Made our hearts to burn, As we heard Thy counsel, Felt Thy love???s concern. So tonight we pray Thee Leave us not alone; But through light and shadow Keep us as Thine own. Grant to us in slumber To be very near, In Thy goodness quelling Needless doubt and fear. When at length the dawning Sweeps the night away, Help us rise triumphant, Worthy of the day.
