Father, we give Thee thanks once more,
As daily we have done before,
For countless blessings from Thy store
Of love and grace;
Look on us, Father, we implore
With smiling face.
The evil we have done this day
Forgive, oh Lord, we humbly pray;
Thou knowest 'neath the tempter's sway
We're prone to fall;
Then guide and guard us all the way,
Great Lord of all.
This night, as 'neath Thy wings we creep,
We pray Thee loving vigil keep;
May we reward of labour reap,
Safe from all storm,
Resting secure in blessed sleep
Till breaks the morn:
Then to arise alert and bright,
Refreshed by slumber of the night,
Strengthened to renew the fight
And try again
To think, and say, and do the right.
Amen; Amen.
