Father, While the Shadows Fall
Author: Emily H. Miller Hymnal: The Finest of the Wheat No. 3 #33 (1904) Refrain First Line: Take me in thy holy keeping Lyrics: 1 Father, while the shadows fall,
With the twilight over all,
Deign to hear my evening prayer,
Make a little child thy care.
Refrain:
Take me in thy holy keeping
Till the morning break;
Guard me thro’ the darkness, sleeping,
Bless me when I wake.
2 ‘Twas thy hand that all the day
Scattered joys along my way,
Crowned my life with blessings sweet,
Kept from snares my careless feet. [Refrain]
3 Like thy patient love to me,
May my love to others be;
All the wrong that I have done,
Pardon, Lord, thro’ Christ the Son. [Refrain] Topics: Prayer Tune Title: [Father, while the shadows fall]
