1 Father, in high heaven dwelling,
May our evening song be telling
Of thy mercy large and free;
Through the day thy love hath fed us,
Through the day thy care hath led us,
With divinest charity.
2 This day's sins, oh, pardon, Saviour!
Evil thoughts, perverse behavior,
Envy, pride, and vanity;
From all evil us deliver;
Save us now, and save us ever,
O thou Lamb of Calvary!
3 Whilst the night-dews are distilling,
Holy Ghost, each heart be filling
With thine own serenity;
Softly let our eyes be closing,
Loving souls on thee reposing,
Ever-blessed Trinity.
