O blessed Lord, protect Thou me And my dear parents graciously; With Thy strong arm be ever near To brothers and to sisters dear. And all our loved ones in the land, Protect them with Thine own right hand. From sin defend and keep me free; Help me a Christlike child to be. Amen. 14. My Father, for another night Of quiet sleep and rest. For all the joys of morning light, Thy holy name be blest. Amen. 15. Now with the new-born day I give Myself anew to Thee, That as Thou willest, I may live, And what Thou willest, be. Amen. 16. Lord, for the mercies of this night My humble thanks I pay And unto Thee I give myself To-day and every day. Amen. 17. Whate'er I do, things great or small Whate'er I speak or frame. Thy glory may I seek in all, Do all in Jesus' name. My Father, for His sake I pray. Thy child accept and bless And lead me by Thy grace to-day In paths of righteousness. Amen. 18. I thank Thee, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Thy dear Son, that Thou hast kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray Thee that Thou wouldst keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please Thee. For into Thy hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Thy holy angel lie with me, that the wicked Foe may have no power over me. Amen. Evening Prayers. 19. Savior, lay Thy hand on me, Bless me, and remember me. Amen. 20. Now I lay me down to sleep; I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take; And this I ask for Jesus' sake. Amen. 21. Dear Father in heaven, Look down from above; Bless papa and mama, And those whom I love. May angels guard over My slumbers, and when The morning is breaking, Awake me. Amen. 22. Now the light has gone away; Savior, 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 to-day; 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. O bring me and all I love To Thy happy home above. Amen. 23. In my little bed I lie: Heavenly Father, hear my cry; Lord, keep Thou me through this night. Bring me safe to morning light. Amen. 24. The day is past and over, All thanks, O Lord, to Thee! O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight And save me through the coming night. Amen. 25. The day is done; O God the Son, Look down upon Thy little one! O Light of Light, Keep me this night, And shed round me Thy presence bright. I need not fear If Thou art near; Thou art my Savior Kind and dear. Amen. 26. Forgive, O Lord, for Thy dear Son The ill that I this day have done. That with the world, myself, and Thee I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. Amen. 27.
