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.
