My Father, for another night
[Modernised Version]1 My Father, for another night
of quiet sleep and rest;
for all the joy of morning light,
your holy name be blessed.
2 Now with the new-born day I give
myself to you again;
that gladly I for you may live,
and you within me reign.
3 In every action, great or small,
in every thought and aim;
your glory may I seek in all,
do all in Jesus' name.
4 My Father, for his sake, I pray,
your child accept and bless;
and lead me by your grace today
in paths of righteousness.'
