Now the Light Has Gone Away

Now the light has gone away;

Father

list­en while I pray

Asking Thee to watch and keep

And to send me qui­et sleep.

Jesus

Sav­ior

wash away

All that has been wrong to­day;

Help me ev­ery day to be

Good and gen­tle

more like Thee.

Let my near and dear ones be

Always near and dear to Thee;

Oh

bring me and all I love

To Thy hap­py home ab­ove.

Now my ev­en­ing praise I give;

Thou didst die that I might live;

All my bless­ings come from Thee;

Oh

how good Thou art to me!

Thou

my best and kind­est friend

Thou wilt love me to the end.

Let me love Thee more and more

Always bet­ter than be­fore.
