Representative Text

1 Saviour, hear us, we pray;
Keep us safe through this day;
Keep our lives free from sin
And our hearts pure within.

Refrain:
Jesus, Lord, hear our prayer:
May we rest in Thy care,
Jesus, Lord, hear our prayer:
May we rest in Thy care.

2 Be our Guardian and Guide;
May we walk by Thy side
Till the evening shadows fall
Over us— over all. [Refrain]

AMEN.
