Father, grant to keep and guide me
Through the moments of the day.
Let me know Thou art beside me,
That no evil can betide me
In my work or play.
Teach my hands some good endeavor
While the golden hours shall run,
Something that will last forever
Let me bring to Thee, the Giver,
E’er the day is done.
When at last the sun is wending
Down the sloping West,
And the evening shades descending
Tell the world the day is ending,
Watch above my rest.
