  • A Child's Hymn


    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.

    My sins are heavy, but Thy mercy
    Far outweighs them, every one;
    Down before Thy cross I cast them,
    Trusting in Thy help alone.

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

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

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