O Father, hear me as I pray to Thee,
I know that I am far from purity;
But Jesus died that sinful men might live,
So in His name I ask Thee to for­give.

Refrain

Father, Father,
Humbly now I come to Thee;
Father, Father,
Hear, oh hear my humble plea.

I pray that Thou wilt pardon ev­ery sin;
O Lord, forgive and make me pure with­in.
Plant a desire for service in my heart
And give me strength to always do my part.

Refrain

Tonight, O Father, as the sha­dows creep
And I so gently close my eyes in sleep,
I pray that Thou wilt guard me through the night
And keep me safe till comes the morn­ing light.

Refrain

When morning comes, oh, let me rise to work,
Forbid that duty I should ev­er shirk;
And when at last my race on earth is run,
Grant, Lord, that I may hear Thee say, Well done.

Refrain
