1 Now, God, be with us, for the night is closing,
the light and darkness are of your disposing;
and 'neath his shadow here to rest we yield us,
for he will shield us.
2 Let holy thoughts be our when sleep o'ertakes us;
our earliest thoughts be yours when morning wakes us;
but your dear presence will not leave those lonely
who seek you only.
3 Father, your name be praised, your kingdom given,
your will be done on earth as 'tis in heaven;
keep us in life, forgive our sins,
deliver us now and ever.
