"Evening Prayer"
|

|
|
|
1. |
The great round sun is gone,
The night is near;
Oh! Heav'nly Father, bless
Thy children here. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. |
The silent little birds
And folded flow'rs
Are sweetly sleeping now,
Till morning hours. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. |
We little children, too,
May sweetly sleep;
For God, our Father, will
In safety keep.
