Pray then like this…
Matthew 6:9
Words: Allen E. Cross, 1907.
Music: Eudoxia Sabine Baring-Gould, in Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1868 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Jesus, kneel beside me,
In the dawn of day;
Thine is prayer eternal—
Teach me how to pray!
Master, work beside me
In the shining sun;
Gently guide Thy servant
Till the work be done.
Savior, watch beside me
In the closing light;
Lo, the evening cometh—
Watch with me this night!
Birds are winging homeward,
Sun and shadow cease;
Savior, take my spirit
To Thy perfect peace.
