1. Now the light has gone a- way; Fa- ther, lis- ten while I pray, Ask- ing Thee to watch and keep And to send me qui- et sleep.
 
2. Je- sus, Sa- vior, wash a- way All that has been wrong to- day; Help me ev- ery day to be Good and gen- tle, more like Thee.
 
3. Let my near and dear ones be Al- ways near and dear to Thee. Oh, bring me and all I love To Thy ha- ppy home a- bove.
 
4. Now my eve- ning praise I give; Thou didst die that I might live. All my bless- ings come from Thee; Oh, how good Thou art to me!
 
5. Thou, my best and kind- est Friend, Thou wilt love me to the end. Let me love Thee more and more, Al- ways bet- ter than be- fore.
