573. My Father, hear my prayer

1 My Father, hear my prayer,
Before I go to rest;
It is Thy little child
That cometh to be blest.

2 Forgive me all my sin,
And let me sleep this night
In safety and in peace
Until the morning light.

3 Lord, help me every day
To love Thee more and more,
And try to do Thy will
Much better than before.

4 Now look upon me, Lord,
Ere I lie down to rest;
It is Thy little child
That cometh to be blest.

Amen.
