A Book of Chorales #108
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.
O 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.
