Muede bin ich geh zur Ruh!

This evening prayer I found in a book belonging to my grandmother. I have saved it for many years and thought I would share it with you.

Now the light has gone away

Father, 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 today

Help me everyday to be

Good and gentle more like Thee

Let my near and dear ones be

Always near and dear to Thee

Oh bring me and all I love

To thy happy home above

Now my evening praise I give

Thou didst die that I might love

All my blessings come from Thee

Oh how good Thou art to me

Thou my best and kindest Friend

Thou wilt love me to the end

Let me love Thee more and more

Always better than before

Amen
