In Our Hearts Celestial Voices

In our hearts celestial voices
Softly say:
"Day is passing, night is coming;
Kneel and pray,"

Father, we obey the summons;
Hear Our cry;
Pity us and help our weakness,
Thou Most High.

For the joys that most we cherish
Praised be Thou!
Good and gentle art Thou ever;
Hear us now.

Coming morrows we may never
Live to see;
All we ask Thee is to keep us,
Safe with Thee.

We are only little children
Kneeling here,
And we want our loving Father
Always near.

Take us in Thy arms and keep us
As Thine own;
Gather us like little sunbeams
Round Thy throne.
