EVENING PRAYER.

By Eliza Lee Cabot Follen

Great Source of being,

Father all-seeing!

We bow before thee;

Our souls adore thee;

Help us obey thee;

Guide us aright;

Keep us, we pray thee,

Through the long night.

Thou kind, forgiving

God of all living,

Thy power defend us,

Thy peace attend us,

While we are closing

This day in prayer,

Ever reposing

Under thy care.
