Hear Our Prayer, O Heavenly Father

Verse 1

Hear my prayer, O Heavenly Father, Ere I lay me down to sleep; Bid Thy angels, pure and holy, Round my bed their vigil keep.

Verse 2

Great my sins are, but Thy mercy Far outweighs them everyone; Down before Thy cross I cast them, Trusting in Thy help alone.

Verse 3

Keep me, through this night of peril, Underneath its boundless shade; Take me to Thy rest, I pray Thee, When my pilgrimage is made.

Verse 4

None shall measure out Thy patience, By the span of human thought; None shall bound the tender mercies Which Thy Holy Son hath wrought.

Verse 5

Pardon all my past transgressions; Give me strength for days to come; Guide and guard me with Thy blessing, Till Thine angels bid me home.

Verse 6

Amen.
