1. And now this holy day
  Is drawing to its end,
Is drawing to its end,
  Once more, to Thee, O Lord,
Once more, to Thee, O Lord,
  Our thanks and prayers we send.
Our thanks and prayers we send.


2. We thank Thee for this rest
2. We thank Thee for this rest
  From earthly care and strife;
From earthly care and strife;
  We thank Thee for this help
We thank Thee for this help
  To higher, holier life.
To higher, holier life.


3. We thank Thee for Thy house;
3. We thank Thee for Thy house;
  It is Thy palace-gate
It is Thy palace-gate
  Where Thou, upon Thy throne
Where Thou, upon Thy throne
  Of mercy, still dost wait.
Of mercy, still dost wait.


4. We thank Thee for Thy Word,
4. We thank Thee for Thy Word,
  Thy Gospel’s joyful sound;
Thy Gospel’s joyful sound;
  Oh, may its holy fruits
Oh, may its holy fruits
  Within our hearts abound!
Within our hearts abound!

  Father, to Thee we pray,
Father, to Thee we pray,
  Forgive the sins that stain
Forgive the sins that stain
  E’en this Thy holy day.
E’en this Thy holy day.


6. Through Jesus let the past
6. Through Jesus let the past
  Be blotted from Thy sight,
Be blotted from Thy sight,
  And let us all now sleep
And let us all now sleep
  At peace with Thee this night.
At peace with Thee this night.


7. To God the Father, Son,
7. To God the Father, Son,
  And Spirit glory be,
And Spirit glory be,
  From all in earth and Heav’n,
From all in earth and Heav’n,
  Through all eternity.
Through all eternity.}}
