My Prayer

O Fa­ther

hear me as I pray to Thee

I know that I am far from pur­ity;

But Je­sus died that sin­ful men might live

So in His name I ask Thee to for­give.

Father

Fa­ther

Humbly now I come to Thee;

Father

Fa­ther

Hear

oh hear my hum­ble plea.

I pray that Thou wilt par­don ev­ery sin;

O Lord

for­give and make me pure with­in.

Plant a de­sire for serv­ice in my heart

And give me strength to al­ways do my part.

Tonight

O Fa­ther

as the sha­dows creep

And I so gent­ly close my eyes in sleep

I pray that Thou wilt guard me through the night

And keep me safe till comes the morn­ing light.

When morn­ing comes

oh

let me rise to work

Forbid that du­ty I should ev­er shirk;

And when at last my race on earth is run

Grant

Lord

that I may hear Thee say

Well done.
