In our hearts celestial voices

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 419 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

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.
