Great Eternal God, Almighty, Hear our cry, dear Lord, we pray, As we turn our hearts toward Thee At the closing of this day.
Through this day Thou now hast brought us, Kept us safe from death and harm; Now we pray that Thou wouldst hold us Through this night safe in Thine arm.
If today, dear Lord, we failed Thee— In our weakness gone astray— Oh, forgive us, Lord, and cleanse us, Wash our guilt and sin away.
Help us, Lord, to always follow In the paths where Thou dost lead; Grant us understanding, wisdom As Thy Holy Word we read.
So, dear Lord, we pray be with us That we someday by Thy grace May abide with Thee forever In that holy, heav’nly Place.
