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]
The Finest of the Wheat No. 3 #331 Father, while the shadows fall,
With the twilight, over all,
Deign to hear my evening prayer,
Make Thy loving child Thy care.
Take me in Thy holy keeping
Till the morning break;
Guard me thro' the darkness sleeping,
Bless me when I wake.

All the wrong my hands have done,
Pardon, Lord, thro' Christ, Thy Son.
Take me in Thy holy keeping
Till the morning break;

Bless me when I wake.
Amen.
