Text:Now the Light Has Gone Away
Author:Frances R. Havergal, 1836-79
Tune:MÜDE BIN ICH

593. Now the Light Has Gone Away

1 Now the light has gone away;
Father, listen while I pray,
Asking you to watch and keep
And to send me quiet sleep.

2 Jesus, Savior, wash away
All that I've done wrong today.
Make me ever more like you,
Good and gentle, kind and true.

3 Let my near and dear ones be
Safe with you eternally.
Oh, bring me and all I love
To your happy home above.

4 Now my evening praise I give;
You once died that I might live.
All your precious gifts are free --
Oh, how good you are to me!

5 Ah, my best and kindest Friend,
You will love me to the end.
Let me love you more and more,
Always better than before.
