Father dear, I humbly bow At thy feet and ask thee now: Keep me through this dreary night, Wake me with the morning’s light; Let no danger hover near, Let no sorrow, sigh, or fear Break my slumber; but on thee Let my thoughts and dreamings be. Father bless, and may I prove That I’ve tasted of thy love. Keep my tongue and let me talk Of thy goodness. Help me walk As a Christian every day; Keep me ever true, I pray. Let no harm or sickness come Near our happy little home. In thy hands my all I lay; May I never from thee stray. Keep me, Lord, I ask again. Praise the blessed Lord! Amen.
