A Child’s Hymn Hear my prayer, O heavenly Father,

Ere I lay me down to sleep; Bid Thy angels, pure and holy, Round my bed their vigil keep.

My sins are heavy, but Thy mercy ar outweighs them, every one;

Down before Thy cross I cast them, Trusting in Thy help alone.

Keep me through this night of peril Underneath its boundless shade; Take me to Thy rest, I pray Thee,

When my pilgrimage is made.

None shall measure out Thy patience By the span of human thought;

None shall bound the tender mercies Which Thy Holy Son has bought. Pardon all my past transgressions, Give me strength for days to come;

Guide and guard me with Thy blessing Till Thy angels bid me home.
