Father In High Heaven Dwelling

Father, in high heaven dwelling, may our evening song be telling Of Thy mercy large and free: Through the day Thy love hath fed us, Through the day Thy love hath fed us, With divinist charity.

This day's sins, O pardon, Saviour, Evil thoughts, perverse behaviour, Envy, pride, and vanity; From the world, the flesh, deliver, Save us now, and save us ever, O Thou Lamb of calvary!

From enticements of the devil, From the might of spirits evil, Be our shield and panoply: Let Thy power this night defend us, And a heavenly peace attend us, And angelic company.

Whilst the night-dews are distilling, Holy Ghost, each heart be filling With Thine own serenity: Softly let our eyes be closing, Loving souls on Thee reposing, Ever blessed Trinity.
