Now the Light Has Gone Away

A child’s prayer for the evening in the Revised Edition of Little Folded Hands.

Historical edition. Historical claims and instructions are preserved as historical context.

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

Jesus, Savior, wash away
All that has been wrong to-day;
Help me every day to be
Good and gentle, more like Thee.

Let my near and dear ones be
Always near and dear to Thee.
O bring me and all I love
To Thy happy home above. Amen.
