"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.
