Father, We Thank Thee
Father, we thank thee for the night,And for the pleasant morning light;
For rest and food and loving care,
And all that makes the day so fair.
Help us to do the things we should,
To be to others kind and good;
In all we do, in work or play,
To grow more loving every day.
-- Rebecca Weston - 1890
Children's Bedtime Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep,I pray the Lord my soul to keep:
May God guard me through the night
And wake me with the morning light.
Amen.
-- Traditional
Child's Evening Prayer
I hear no voice, I feel no touch,I see no glory bright;
But yet I know that God is near,
In darkness as in light.
He watches ever by my side,
And hears my whispered prayer:
The Father for His little child
Both night and day doth care.
