1. Now the light has gone away;
Father, listen while I pray,
Asking Thee to watch and keep
And to send me quiet sleep.

Asking Thee to watch and keep
And to send me quiet sleep.
2. Jesus, Savior, wash away
All that has been wrong today;
Help me every day to be
Good and gentle, more like Thee.

Always near and dear to Thee.
Oh, bring me and all I love
To Thy happy home above.

Oh, how good Thou art to me!

Thou wilt love me to the end.
Let me love Thee more and more,
Always better than before.
