A PRAYER FOR PEACE
Father in Heaven! humbly before thee
Kneeling in prayer thy children appear;
We in our weakness, we in our blindness,
Thou in thy wisdom, hear us, oh hear!
Kneeling in prayer thy children appear;
We in our weakness, we in our blindness,
Thou in thy wisdom, hear us, oh hear!
God watching o'er us sleeps not nor slumbers,
Faithful night watches his angels keep.
Through all the darkness, unto the dawning,
To his beloved he giveth sleep.
Faithful night watches his angels keep.
Through all the darkness, unto the dawning,
To his beloved he giveth sleep.
