The Day Is Done

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.

The day is done;
O God the Son,
Look down upon
Thy little one!

O Light of Light,
Keep me this night,
And shed round me
Thy presence bright.

I need not fear
If Thou art near;
Thou art my Savior
Kind and dear. Amen.
