Father, in High Heaven Dwelling

Father in high Heav­en dwell­ing

May our ev­en­ing song be tell­ing

Of Thy mer­cy large and free:

Through the day Thy love hath fed us

Through the day Thy care hath led us

With di­vin­est char­ity.

This day’s sins

O par­don

Sav­ior

Evil thoughts

per­verse be­hav­ior

Envy

pride

and van­ity;

From the world

the flesh

de­liv­er

Save us now

and save us ev­er

O Lamb of Cal­va­ry!

From en­tice­ments of the dev­il

From the might of spir­its evil

Be our shield and pa­no­ply:

Let Thy pow’r this night de­fend us

And a heav­en­ly peace at­tend us

And an­gel­ic com­pa­ny.

While the night dews are dis­till­ing

Holy Ghost

each heart be fill­ing

With Thine own se­re­ni­ty:

Softly let our eyes be clos­ing

Loving souls on Thee re­pos­ing

Ever bless­èd Tri­ni­ty.
