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

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

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

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

5. Yet, ere we go to rest,
   Father, to Thee we pray,
   Forgive the sins that stain
   E’en this Thy holy day.

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

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