In the twilight of the
morning,
When the shadows steal
away,
And we wake from balmy
slumber
To behold another day,
Let us go alone in
secret,
And unburden all our
care
At the feet of our
Redeemer,
In the simple, earnest
prayer.
Refrain
Let
Thy presence, blessèd
Savior,
Our protection ever
be;
Give us strength for
every trial,
Keep, oh, keep us
close to Thee.
In the noontide,
calm and peaceful,
When we pause awhile
to rest,
Ere the sun in all its
glory
Is declining towards
the west;
In the midst of our
temptation,
When the cross is hard
to bear,
If we cannot go in
secret,
God will hear the
silent prayer.
Refrain
When the toils of
day are over,
And we seek the
hallowed place
Where by faith we meet
our Savior,
And adore Him for His
grace;
How we feel our burden
lighter,
Till we loose our
weight of care,
While we lift our
hearts together
In the simple, earnest
prayer.
Refrain
